My Project

In our kindergarten class we are fortunate enough to have 2 turtles, Tortellini and Ravioli and a fish as our class pets. They are very loved by multiple years of students at Ps 130. Recently I've noticed they are getting quite large. With these materials it will allow me to build a basking area for them above the tank. This would greatly benefit the health and life expectancy of my beloved class pets. It would also give them more space to walk around and stretch their little legs! Any contributions are greatly appreciated.
