This 2nd Grade Science Project Is Out Of This World!
Funded Sep 12, 2013I would like to thank you very much for your generous donation of the meteorites along with the meteorite poster and the meteorite books for my second grade classroom. Your donation has really helped get my students excited about their upcoming science and Language Arts unit on fossils and prehistoric life.
I introduced the meteorites to my students as part of an introduction to dinosaurs and what might have killed them. The meteorites are helping to bring this unit to life because now my students have been able to hold the meteorites in their hands and examine them closely with their magnifying glasses.
Your donation has given my class wonderful science materials. This has helped to inspire my student's imagination and positively influence many of these students to stay in school and pursue careers in science.”

Funded Oct 18, 2013I would like to thank you very much for your generous donation of the set of Zoobooks magazines, a Zoobooks subscription, and the animal drawing books for my second grade classroom.

They also loved looking at the drawing books and learning how to draw their favorite animals. The pictures gave them great ideas as they worked hard to draw their favorite animals.

Funded Aug 20, 2013I would like to thank you very much for your generous donation of the digital microscope and the sets of microscope slides including animal, plant, and insect slides for my second grade classroom. We used the digital microscope and slides of plant parts when we studied about plants in their science books. We have just started a new science unit on animal life cycles and my students have been very excited to see the insect and animal slides.
Your generous donation has been an amazing addition to my classroom. My students have been really amazed to see what things like butterfly wings and rabbit fur look like under a microscope. Most of my students have never seen or used a real microscope before and your donation has opened up a new world of possibilities for them. Every time we use the microscope I make sure to tell them that this microscope is a gift given in honor of a wonderful teacher who taught students just like them for many years.
Your generous donation has given my class a wonderful science tool. This science equipment will ensure that your mother's dedication to education and her ability to positively influence the future generation will continue for many years into the future as it inspires my student's imagination and positively influences many of these students to stay in school and pursue careers in science.”
