  • Germs Be Gone!

    Funded Apr 7, 2025

    Thanks to all of you for your generous donations. All supplies will be utilized and used by my 4th grade students. You have helped to make this school year a success.

    We can now conduct more experiments and keep our class clean and germ free.

    Thanks again for fulfilling our wish list.”

  • Literacy in the Science Classroom

    Funded Dec 19, 2024

    Many thanks to you for your generous donation, my classes and I have a great collection of Science and other topics of interest. We now have choices when we are reading for information or for pleasure.

    We are able to learn more about volcanoes, glaciers and other topics that support our school curriculum. I love that the books are leveled readers so that all student can read or look at the pictures. Hopefully with so many options the students will become interested in Science careers or just improve their reading skills.

    Thanks again for making wish come true,.”

  • Extreme Weather Research for Fourth Grade

    Funded Dec 18, 2024

    Thank you! The books arrived at the perfect time to experience extreme weather conditions in Alabama. the weather went from being sunny to rain, temperature dropping, sleet, and snow in the span of one week.

    In Alabama, we had snow!!! Talk about a learning experience. We got to experience extreme weather up close and personal. Many of the students had read about snow but never got to feel and see it for themselves.

    The books came at the perfect time so students got to read about and see some of the extreme weather patterns discussed in the Weather Forecast and Crabtree Weather closeup books.

    Thanks to you, we have read and researched tornadoes, blizzards, hailstorms, and even tried our hand at predicting the weather. This lead to careers in Science and being a meteorologist. At this point, the students are more interested in how much money they can make.

    Thanks to your generosity, the students grasp the concepts connected to 4th grade Science at their academic level due to the various levels (theme) books that you provided and I thank you from the bottom of my heart I know that a seed was planted in the classes thanks to you.”

  • Earth in Action

    Funded Feb 11, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping us with this project. All of these items will help my students have a better understanding of the earth and the scientific things that happen around it. Science can be a hard subject to understand, but with hands-on activities like these, my students will find out that science can be fun and engaging. Thanks again for all of your help.”

  • Engaging Science Books to Inspire Curiosity

    Funded Nov 17, 2024

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    We got excited when the shipment of books actually arrived and immediately added them to our class library. The books enriched our class library.

    The collection of books included Leveled Literacy theme books that helped me to differentiate Science or Social topics in Earth Science. Thanks to you ,we now have a Earth Science classroom library with topics that all students can view pictures, read and comprehend. The topics covers Science and Social Studies standards(Earth Science) with books that covers Landforms. Bodies of Water, a model of the Earth, Earth inside/out and National Geographic. The books range from picture books to more complex topics that will hopefully make reading meaningful.

    We thank you for contributing to our class needs and to help with our class resources. Thank you for contributing in our time of need.

    Thank you for making a dream a reality.”

  • As the World Turns

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    Thank you, thank you!

    We got excited when the shipment of globes and maps actually arrived and immediately started to use them. We were able to trace the routes of the early Explorers across the continents and my ELL students could share where their families lived before coming to America.

    The globes and laminated maps enabled me to differentiate learning in my 4th grade Science and Social Studies classes. We are now able to improve our map skills and identify different biomes in the world.

    We thank you for contributing to our class needs and to help with our class resources. Thank you for contributing in our time of need.

    Thank you for making a dream a reality.

  • We Have A Paper Outage!

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    We got excited when the shipment of paper actually arrived and immediately started to use the paper to create Science and Social Studies projects. Currently we are creating, drawing and labeling the layers of the Earth.

    The Quill copy paper(2 boxes) will enable me to make paper copies to differentiate assignments and the students to create assignments that involve Interactive notebooks and being creative in Science and Social Studies.

    We thank you for contributing to our class needs and to help with our class resources. Thank you for contributing in our time of need.

  • Solar System and Beyond the Universe

    Funded Dec 30, 2017

    Thank you for the generous donations to help our students create a hands on Science lesson of the eight planets in our Solar System. Thanks to you, we had enough materials for all students to complete the activity at the same time(whole group) instead of small groups with limited materials.

    The students loved working with the play dough to create models of the Earth, as well as using the materials to review concepts covered in Science and Social Studies that pertain to the Earth and planets. The materials provided a chance to reinforce skills covered in 5th grade Science about our Solar System. Using the models, the students were able to visualize and compare the actual size of the planets in the Solar System. They could see the order and size of the 8 planets and answer the question why some planets are called inner and outer planets? The use of the wet wipes came in handy.. We used the sentence strips and beads to calculate the distance of the planets from the sun.. neat!

    The play dough, sentence strips, tape and beads and wet wipes will be used to review concepts, and create new learning experience in Science class. From all of the students and myself.. Thank you..”

My students need hands on materials for STEM and Science instruction at the 5th grade level. The Art-Time dough will enable the student to create working with a partner a visual scale model of the planets that includes the inner and outer planets and the asteroid belt. I teach 85 energetic fifth grade students in Ohio in a school where 100% of the students qualify for free lunch.. All students want to learn and we need materials to make learning memorable..Many are English language learners, many are special education. These students come to school excited for learning, and love to get their hands on anything that will help increase their learning. Many of these students come to 5th grade with limited or no Science background knowledge. Beyond these odds, my students work hard to attain knowledge, and are fabulous human beings. My project is based on Ohio state standards for Space Science. The objective is to compare or summarize general characteristics (size, composition, distance, temperature, motion) of objects in the universe including stars, planets,moons, asteroids,and comets. Students will predict and make a paper model on a sentence strip of the size of the sun and the planets. Next, they will work with a partner to divide a container of clay dough into balls based on the teacher directions to represent the sun and the size of planets. The students will be able to list the name of the planets and have a visual model of the planets in our solar system. For this lesson,I will include Pluto and discuss why it is now called a dwarf planet. The colored beads and sentence strips will be used to represent the sun and distance of planets.
