Location is Pace Center for Girls:
Students will connect with community partner, The Humane Society of Tampa Bay, to learn of the importance of ending animal homelessness and the responsibility of caring for another life through touring the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, meeting with veterinarians and selecting a guinea pig to rehome at the school.
One person caring for another, represents life's greatest value" - Jim Rohn.
Empathy, compassion, selflessness and hope are qualities of self-awareness and value that are not always innate, but are learned. Students having the ability to build and maintain a habitat for another instills a sense of responsibility, respect for life and their valuable contribution to life.
The mental health of our students is being worn by the worries and anxieties of induced by social media, wars across borders, family instability and the financial difficulties of life. Besides the assistance of a counselor, therapist or a huge, the gentle, warm and unconditional love a student can receive by caring for a small animal permeates beyond words, beyond culture, and beyond academic affluence.
The science of biology, earth/space, life, environmental are equally as important as the science of psychology for females ages 14-16, which is the demographic of my students (I teach at an all girls facility).
1. Students will connect with community organizations, Humane Society and Pet Resources to engage in community effort to end animal homelessness.
2. Students will connect with professionals in the field of science to learn of career opportunities in science field.
3. Students will identify and build the key foundations of a habitat for a guinea pig.
4. Student will develop a sense of responsibility in maintaining the cleanliness of the habitat and maintaining an eating schedule.
5. Students will investigate the non-physical necessities for quality of life for a guinea pig and create activities and games to intellectually stimulate the happiness and growth of the guinea pig and in turn be able to identify their own non-physical necessities of life to stimulate joy and hope.
6. Students will regulate their behavior by having developed self-awareness and connection to the guinea pig, understanding that their demeanor, mood, and behavior does impact those around them.
