We Want to Investigate! Microscopes Needed For Future Scientists!
Funded Jul 28, 2022Wow! Thank you. This is such terrific news on this rainy Thursday night in Los Lunas. We just finished up the Open House for students and parents. It was amazing to see everyone who came in. I did not think our project would get totally funded, but it did. The students will be so very excited to hear the news. I am sure that the microscopes will get them eager to learn more about the unit on Cells. Your contribution really means a lot to our students and I and we thank you for your donation.”

Hocus Pocus, Everybody Focus. Some Students Need Help To Focus.
Funded Mar 27, 2018Thank-you again for funding our class project of Wobble Chairs. Students who sometimes struggle with focusing are now getting some extra support by using the Wobble Chairs. I observed the positive effects from the chairs, such as students who struggle with focusing are now paying attention and staying on task.
All of the students were excited when they first saw the chairs. I told them it was an experiment, and everyone would have a chance to use the chairs. I allowed everyone to use the chairs, but tried to have students who struggle with focusing to utilize the chairs more often. I observed the students who struggle focusing and sitting still are now on task and paying attention. I was surprised how much of a difference the chairs made. The other students really enjoyed using in the chairs, and everyday there were requests to use the chairs. Since there was only five we had to rotate and try to give everyone a chance to use the chairs.
I hope to get more Wobble Chairs for the rest of the class, so students who would like to use them will have the opportunity to use them. Thank-you again to the Donors who supported our classroom project.”
