Cheetah team school supplies
Funded Jan 11, 2020These resources were priceless in helping students meet expectations that they maintain a interactive science notebook.
The interactive notebook is a great tool for helping students organize notes and information as well as incorporating this information into their own knowledge. They are a way for students to keep all of their information organized and in one place.
The purchase of resources made possible by your generosity will go a long way insuring students have what they need in order to successfully maintain this resource.”

Explore Learning Subscription
Funded Sep 16, 2019On behalf of my students I would like to thank each of you who contributed and made this project possible,
The explore learning software offers labs which are known as Gizmos. Gizmos exist for all of the units in our curriculum. The Gizmos allow students allow students to manipulate different variables and then monitor the outcome. Outcomes vary according to how students manipulate variables. The learning experiences provided are extremely realistic and meaningful to students. Gizmos provide students a way to simulate conditions they would never be able to otherwise. One gizmo , for example, allows students to monitor blood gasses and waste products in the blood stream as the blood passes through various chambers of the heart and throughout various locations in the circulatory system.
Thanks to your generosity our students will have the benefit of this resource for another full year!”

Science Scope Subscription
Funded Sep 12, 2019Students often see science as something that is dry and unrelated to their day to day lives. This Science World subscription has provide them with thought provoking examples of science in their daily experiences.
On Tuesdays in science we have SSR or sustained silent reading. Many students come to class without books of their own and visit my student library for material. This resource enriches my student library with interesting , science related topics that are written on their reading level. I feel like a love of reading develops when students have access to interesting material.”

Explore Learning Subscription
Funded Dec 22, 2018On behalf of my students I would like to thank each of you who contributed and made this project possible,
The explore learning software offers labs which are known as Gizmos. Gizmos exist for all of the units in our curriculum. The Gizmos allow students allow students to manipulate different variables and then monitor the outcome on the situation. The learning experiences provided are extremely realistic and meaningful to students.
I have used Gizmos in years past and was extremely disappointed that our budget constraints would not allow us to renew this year. Your generosity has allowed our students to have the benefit of this resource for another full year!”

Science Scope Subscription
Funded Sep 29, 2018II greatly appreciate your generosity in contributing subscriptions of Science scope magazine for my students to read. Science scope has hundreds of age appropriate articles of issues relating to science in today's world.
We take a 15 minute break to read each Wednesday in science. The more avid readers usually have their own books but many students come to class on Wednesdays without their own reading material. I maintain a student library for this purpose but the content consist of old magazines donated by parents. While they do provide reading material , it is usually not the most up to date science content. This gift will allow students to have access to this resource throughout the year.
Thank you again for making a difference and contributing such a valuable resource to our classes,”

Interactive Science Notebooks
Funded Sep 14, 2018I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your generous donation to my science classes. Organization is a focus with seventh grade students and the contribution of these notebooks will help them to learn organization skills and keep information in a way that will be useful to them throughout the year. The whole concept of interactive science notebooks centers on having students take information provided by the teacher and turn it in to a product of their own. This causes them to use the information in a meaningful way.
Your gift of these notebooks provided over 100 students with the resources they needed to setup and maintain their own interactive science notebooks. These notebooks are so important they have actually replaced outdated textbooks over the past several years. The table of contents for the Interactive science notebooks allows students to see what concepts were covered when they were absent and it allows parents to track their child's progress in my class.
My students and I sincerely appreciate your contribution of these notebooks and making a positive impact on our progress!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Lucas
