My students are naturally curious and very interested in things they can relate to, which is one reason we spend so much time learning about science through the study of animals. We live in the Pacific Northwest near water and forests, and many of my students already have some experience with the abundance of creatures in our area. Bringing real fish and other small animals (such as earthworms, insects, snails) into the classroom will help engage students into deeper learning about the world around them, and provide a springboard for learning that crosses content areas, specifically science and writing.
