My Dog Park School Project

This project all started when I was assigned a school community improvement project.

The topic was "If I could improve something in my community it would be _________ and why?"

So naturally I chose to do something concerning animals.

Our community is fortunate enough to have a dog park, but I thought it could use

some improvements like a water fountain, some fun stuff for dogs, more benches, better latches 

on the gates, and maybe even a seperate area for dogs that don't play well with others.



​It took me 3 weeks to complete my project from start to finish. I learned many things while working on my project. I was able to get really creative, while practicing and learning stuff I didn't even realize I was learning.

I used Math- To figure out measurements of park, figure out averages, and percentages of dog owners  and their answers that I gathered from my surveys.

I used Art- To draw, paint, cut, glue, and create many of my ideas into a small miniature scale, when I built my dog park model.

I used Creativity- To come up with many of my ideas.

I learned Research Skills- To go online and find many of the items and the costs of each one.

I used Grammar and Spelling- To type up my report, and use correct punctuation.

I used Computer skills- To type up my report and insert pictures.

I practiced my Photography skills- to take pictures of the park, dogs playing, and my model pictures.

I practiced my Social Skills- To talk with local dog owners and tell them about my project while also asking them to take my survey. 

I practiced my Speaking Skills- To present my project to my family, friends and neighbors.
