My students need Learning Science Libraries, Bee-Bot Programable Robots, Science Viewers, Life Cycle Sequencing, Jumbo Magnetic Balls, and Bar Magnets.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Science is a beautiful subject and my students are eager beavers when it comes to learning.
My students come from low-income families and many of them have been to two or three schools by the time they reach my first grade class.
But they are so willing to learn. They are very enthusiastic and inquisitive. I have been so successful in the past at increasing my students' science scores with paper and pencil, books and items I could afford to purchase or get donated. I want to add to my teaching materials and strategies so that I can reach all of my students on their level. The new science materials will allow my class to work "Smarter, Together" as we explore all of our science objectives.
My Project
My students need science learning centers, manipulative's and books. The materials will be used primarily for my students with learning disabilities, reading disabilities, peer to peer learning, whole group and small group. My students will be given the opportunity to learn in a way that is comfortable and engaging. The students with language delays can use manipulatives and centers to learn. The students with a reading disability can use specific centers and books to practice skills independently without the stress of peers evaluating their progress. My students can demonstrate their knowledge without the stress and anxiety of completing work traditionally (with paper and pencil). The Viewers will offer support for visual and kinesthetic learners. The Push and Pull Magnets Discovery Center will engage the students in curriculum objectives, such as force and motion, by creating push and pull forces. Bee-Boot Robots offer hands on instruction increasing knowledge based on STEM. These resources will help me reach all students and help build their confidence with materials they are excited about. The students will be able to work with their peers and work "Smarter, Together".
Donations for "Science, Sealed, Delivered!" will allow my students to work "Smarter, Together!" The process of science is a way of building knowledge and it teaches the students new ideas.
Knowledge is power. My students will gain the ability to explore, investigate and experience projects and objectives one on one. The donations will allow my students to benefit regardless of their academic level.
