I have one hundred and twenty 6th graders who are new to Kennedy Middle School. They are from diverse backgrounds and different cultures all merging into middle school. My Science classroom is dated and could use some Science Equipment as there are a handful of beakers or tools in the building. I am constantly spending out of my own pocket to give students experiences and getting them to love Science by providing real world or hands on experiences. In addition our tables and seating is outdated when thinking of the 21st century learner. I would love new seating options for a little less structured and more collaborative approach through stations.
