Support Mrs. Laymon's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
Asking a teacher to teach middle school students without the use of hands-on materials is like asking a doctor to listen for a heartbeat without a stethoscopeisn't it? Engaging students with inquiry methods is the only way for important science concepts to be taught. With over 70 percent of my 6th grade student population on free/reduced lunches, the majority of my students cannot provide supplies to help with science experiments. With generous donations, my students may become actively involved in discovering science which is a key focus for my classroom as well as my middle school.
