  • Give a Hoot!

    Funded Aug 10, 2022

    Thank you all for providing a hands on learning experience to my 5th graders! We have enjoyed learning about how the food chain works in our own back yard, by investigating Owls. The highlight of our unit was dissecting the amazing Owl Pellets! If only you could have you could have been in class to witness the giggles, screams, and hear the exclamations "look at this Mrs.Hunt, it's a skull"! Our classroom was erupting with excitement as the students compared the various bones to the identifier chart. It was amazing to see just many animals the barn owl consumed in this compact pellet. Thanks to your generosity, my class will not forget this experience and I am grateful that you invested in our future!”

    With gratitude,

  • SIMS...STEM Easy Work Through Simple Machines

    Funded Oct 12, 2015

    Thank you for your generosity with funding our classroom project, Making Work easier through Simple Machines! My students were thrilled the day our package arrived in the classroom. Student were eager to open and look through the goodies. Many questions were asked about what the items were and how we would use them in class. Daily the students asked if it was project day.

    Finally, project day came. Students had more fun "playing" with wheels & axles of tissue boxes. Many were amazed that everyday items like Cd's, dowel rods, tissue boxes can be made into rolling machines. They had a blast using the pulley to lift the water bottle and measure the force being used to life a water bottle. These activities brought real world uses of simple machines into our learning environment. My students enjoyed reading the book about the potato factory and seeing a peek into how simple machines and manufacturing engineering complement each other.

    Thank you for providing my students with this opportunity to use hands on activities to facilitate learning in our Science Classroom. I am excited that because of you, many students will also have this fantastic opportunity in the years to come.”

    Mrs. Hunt

  • SIMS: " I Spy With My Little Eye"

    Funded Oct 8, 2014

    Thank you for this amazing opportunity! The day our supplies arrived, my classroom erupted in cheers, dancing, clapping, and whistles. The excitement could be heard around our school building. We could not unpack the boxes fast enough to explore our new technology.

    We have used our full sized microscopes and mini microscopes as we learned about cells. First, we learned about how a microscope works. Then, how to prepare a side using an onion. Finally, students were able to look through the mini microscope to see their onion slide and view various other plant and animal slides in the full size microscopes.

    Your generosity has provided my students with a memory of seeing cells for the first time. This lesson has sparked many students with a drive to learn more about cells. Many have checked out books about other organelles that are found not only in cells, but also in bacteria. Also, 100% of my students were proficient on their Unit test.

    Thank you for the impact you have made on my students this year and for years to come!”

  • SIMS: Give A "Hoot" About The Food Web/Chain

    Funded Oct 4, 2013

    I wish that you could have heard all the cheers and saw the excited faces when I announced that our grant for Owl Pellets was granted. I do believe that all 86 students were walking on cloud 9 for many weeks eagerly awaiting the Kit to arrive to school. When the kit arrived, I could not wait for the day to be over so I could look at the posters, DVD, and the beloved pellets. The next day, I show the items to each class and started to make preparations for dissection day.

    On dissection day, the weather did not cooperate with us and school was dismissed for a snow day. Disappointment was in the air, as I received many phone calls and emails begging to reschedule the dissection for the following Monday. Finally, It was Monday, and yet again excitement filled the hallways. All three classes were beyond thrilled to get started on the dissection. Not one student complained or thought that it was gross as we worked our way through the lab. There were many oohs and ahas as we worked our way through hair, bones and dust.

    Thanks to you, this lab opportunity provided my students with a hands on approach to the food chain, a deeper understanding of the Food Web, Energy Pyramid, and ultimately they grasped the importance of harmony within an ecosystem. Learning is fun and exciting when students are able to use their five senses: to touch, smell, feel, hear, and taste what they are learning about. Research states this type of sensory education unites a student's experience to the material being learned which, may be stored permanently in their brains. Again, thank you for your generosity to allow my students an amazing experience with the food chain that they will not forget.”
