  • Help my Kids Read and Learn about the World

    Funded Jun 3, 2014

    No words can describe the amount of joy your donations have brought to my classroom. Every time a student reads one of the books I watch their faces light up with astonishment and wonder. When my students first saw the books they were super excited as they had read the first two books in the Parvana series and were dying to read the other two books. The books are used for independent reading and we had to do a lottery for who gets to read them first so they wouldn't fight over them! It really was such a joyous feeling I got watching my students be so excited about reading that could not of been possible without the wonderful donors that contributed to my project.

    My school's budget is very tight and without donors like you, my students would of never gotten this opportunity. Thank you again so much for helping to open their eyes to a whole new world.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Verra

  • Help Us Explore Science!

    Funded Jun 15, 2014

    No words can describe the amount of joy your donations have brought to my classroom. Every time a student uses the new equipment I watch their faces light up with astonishment and wonder. When my students first started finding the density of the cubes or mixing the chemicals to find different chemical reactions I hear comments like "Whoa!", "Cool!" and "No way!". It really is such a joyous feeling I get watching this, that could not of been possible without the wonderful donors that contributed to my project.

    My school's budget is very tight and without donors like you, my students would of never gotten the opportunity to experience and see things that are always around them but never possible for them to see. Thank you again so much for helping to open their eyes to a whole new scientific world.”

  • Young Scientists Need To Explore Science!

    Funded Dec 27, 2012

    No words can describe the amount of joy the donated slides have brought to my classroom. Every time a student looks at a new slide I watch their faces light up with astonishment and wonder. When my students first started looking at the slides I hear comments like "Whoa!", "Cool!" and "No way!". It really is such a joyous feeling I get watching this that could not of been possible without the wonderful donors that contributed to my project.

    My school's budget is very tight and without donors like you, my students would of never gotten the opportunity to experience and see things that are always around them but never possible for them to see. Thank you again so much for helping to open their eyes to a whole new microscopic world!”

My students attend a public middle school in a low socioeconomic status urban community. They have very little exposure to anything outside of their community. Many seem to live in their own urban neighborhood "bubble" and have a difficult time understanding and believing anything that they don't normally see in their neighborhood. When they are exposed to something new in my science class their faces light up like a kid on Christmas morning! This is why I would love to get these materials to help open their eyes to a whole new world!
