Live Organisms for Science Instruction

Funded Feb 21, 2013

I would like to tell you of how great an impact you have made in the lives of my kids. The moment they saw the packages coming in and as we opened them up, their eyes lit up and their smiles were from ear to ear. All they can muster is "Wow." They clapped all through out that wonderful afternoon.

They were so excited to help me assemble the fish tank and butterfly center. Everyday they would look at the fishes, caterpillars, cocoons and butterfly. I used these moments as we fed the animals to encourage my students to use their senses to describe what they have discovered or observed and journal. And when they saw the metamorphosis--they were literally jumping up and down. We even had a butterfly release party. It was all worth it.

I believe that with your donation, my students have an increase knowledge of the fishes and butterflies because they actually saw each stage of their growth as opposed to pictures and books. Thank you so much for the wealth of experience they got.”

With gratitude,
