Wings of Wonder: Parakeet Care and Supplies for Our Classroom

Help me give my students and class pets, “the birdies” the best possible sanctuary in our classroom!

My Project

The products we are requesting for our classroom parakeets will make a significant difference in our students learning by providing them with the tools they need to care for our feathered friends. This hands-on experience will teach them important lessons in responsibility, empathy, and teamwork; as they take turns feeding, cleaning and caring for the birds. These daily routines will also support their understanding of animal lifecycles, habitat needs, and the importance of compassion towards living creatures.

The goal of this project is the foster a sense of pride and ownership in the children, while nurturing their natural curiosity and wonder.

Our classroom pets, “the birdies” (Skyler, Grayson, and Honey), have already sparked joy and excitement among the children, as they observed the birds, unique behaviors and personalities. The presence of the birds encourages discussions about nature, animals, and how we can help care for the world around us.

Despite my students young age, they show deep interest in how to interact with the parakeets gently and kindly. By integrating these class pets into our daily routine. We are not only creating an engaging learning environment, but also teaches them the value of responsibility in a way that is both meaningful and fun.

Class pets are wonderful tool for young children because they provide a living, breathing example of responsibility and the impact of their actions on others. They offer opportunities for growth and emotional regulation, patients, and cooperation all while enriching the classroom experience with a sense of wonder and joy.
