  • Chemistry Concepts Come to Life Part 2

    Funded Jul 6, 2012

    Thank you OO.com for funding my project, "Chemistry Concepts Come to Life Part 2". These supplies will be put to use shortly and will benefit my students for decades to come.

    My students were so excited when the packages arrived during class today. It was a welcome distraction and gave me an opportunity to preview a more exciting topic that the kids will be learning about next month.

    Thank you for helping my students to be excited to learn about chemistry and for giving them the opportunity to work with equipment would otherwise never get!”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. McCoy

  • Tech Accessories

    Funded Jun 13, 2012

    Thank you so much for funding my project, "Tech Accessories". These supplies arrived just in time for the start of the school year and my students will be starting their first project using many of the items you provided starting next week.

    My students will be so happy that they have all of these awesome supplies to make their projects more professional. On behalf of my students, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! We would not have been able to get these supplies from our limited budget without your support.”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. McCoy

  • Chemistry Concepts Come to Life

    Funded May 8, 2012

    Thank you so much for funding my project, "Chemistry Concepts Come to Life". Now that we have the spectrometer and additional spectrum tubes, the students will be able to see the differences between the colored light emitted by more of the elements. This equipment means that my students can go back and re-do a lab we did earlier in the year using only a sheet of diffraction gradient and can actually measure each of the wavelengths they see in the spectrometer. It's fantastic for them to use up to date equipment that will help them understand chemistry in new and exciting ways!”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. McCoy

  • Creating Crazy Chemistry Calculations

    Funded Apr 10, 2012

    Thank you so much for funding my project "Crazy Chemistry Calculations"! The students were so excited to get the calculators, that they were actually asking me to give them a quiz. My students have already used them for a quiz and a test and they are all doing so much better because they no longer have to share the few calculators we used to have. Because they no longer have to share, on quiz days I can actually get back to teaching before the bell rings because all of the kids have their own calculator and no one has to wait in line to use one.”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. McCoy

Our school is very proud of our diverse population of students with 51 different languages spoken in our students homes. We are a suburban district that is surrounded by struggling urban schools. Many of our students have parents whose primary language is not English and have not graduated from high school. More than half of our students live in poverty and these factors make it difficult for them to span the achievement gap. Each year the demographics of my classroom change. Though the faces are different, the goal remains to not only give these kids a strong foundation of chemistry, but to support their efforts in all facets of their life. From band to dance, sports or after school jobs, my students are busy! They are also smart, hardworking, overachievers that I hope to help achieve their goals of going to prestigious universities to further their academic careers.
