My Project

Our students are excited about having a class pet! The goal is to provide a calm corner of our classroom, which will be an enriching SEL and Science classroom experience as the students take turns caring for the pet.

In addition to teaching responsibility, we will be helping the emotional and mental growth of our students!

Compassion, empathy, respect and leadership skills all come into play.

The hygenic rug, aquarium starter kit with filter and decorative plants will be a great beginning for our corner that will offer stress relief too.
