My Students

The students in my room are fascinated by the Colonel Kernel, our class corn snake. They often ask questions that we research on the Internet and it will be great to have a set of classroom books and a model of a snake to help us answer their queries.

Class 201 is filled with gifted and talented learners who come from all over our city to study.

They are highly motivated, engaged in their learning, and very curious about the world around them. They learn best when construct their learning based on real life questions and problems.

My Project

We are requesting additional books on snakes for our classroom library and a skeletal model of a snake so that students can research their own questions. The materials will help put the students understand the Colonel's anatomy, life cycle and quirky habits.

The Colonel Kernel, everyone's favorite corn snake, is getting bigger by the month.

Students ask all sorts of questions ranging from the shedding process to the skeletal structure of a snake. Help them find answers by donating to this project please!
