• Mrs. G's Scientists

  Funded Sep 18, 2013

  Thank you so much for your donations! My students were so excited to see the resources we received to put in our science centers! Once we started to open the boxes, there face lit up and it was priceless! My students could not believe there eyes when they saw the magnifying glasses, at which we all had to test out, to help with our explorations.

  Furthermore, my students use the resources that we received all the time! We have already covered our senses unit and the students were able to explore hands-on with different manipulatives and activities. We have also used the magnifying glasses in almost all the experiments, including rocks, soil, and water. The other instant learning centers are placed around the room for the students to explore, including color mixing in the art center and exploring light in the science center.

  This donation was such a rewarding experience for my students and I. I am not only able to show them science through using a variety of materials, but they are able to experience it with their hands in a meaningful way. My students are very motivated to learn and with the wonderful materials given, they are eager to explore all of it!

  Thank you again for your generous donations!”

They were not only eager to see what all of the resources we received, but to put them to use.

  My students and I use the resources requested every day! The big book storage bin makes the big books easier for the students to reach and utilize. Once we started to use the resources, the classroom has been different every since. Each student now has a their own place to put the books they are reading and they are proud to grab their individual bin every day to read from it. Also, we received some books for our classroom library for the students to enjoy during the reading time.
