Daily Interactive Science Journals

My students need basic classroom supplies to be successful scientists in my class (mainly their interactive 5-subject notebooks), which will allow them to keep up with class materials and to better organize all assignments and lessons.

My Students

"Economically Challenged Yet Passionate Scientists in the Making!" My students are some of the best students a teacher could as for. They are so well mannered and they appreciate a classroom culture with structure, discipline, high expectations, and tons of "MOTHERLY LOVE". I work with both 6th and 8th grade students that mainly come from well educated homes, but may face some economic disadvantages. 43% of our students receive either free/or reduced lunch. However, in my classroom, there are several students in foster homes, several students with 1 or more deceased parents, and some students with 1 parent incarcerated and the other parent unknown or absent. With all the odds against them, they come to school everyday with positive attitudes, a willingness to learn, and a PASSION for SCIENCE! This dynamic group of students makes me proud to get up everyday and say that I am a "TEACHER"! Most of the students in classroom, lack the basic classroom supplies to be successful. These items include, but are not limited to a 5 subject notebook, composition(lab) notebooks, pencils, glue sticks, markers, scissors, and index cards. Without the necessary supplies, these students are not as successful as they want to be.

My Project

My students will be working on a yearlong project which is a "Daily Interactive Science Journal". This notebook not only allows the student to keep up with daily educational materials, but helps them to make daily connections to Science and their everyday lives.

I feel that being able to use basic classroom materials, to build a wonderful scientific collage about what you learn each day in Science, will definitely take these "Kings" and "Queens" to the next level of their academic careers and allow them to be college and career ready at an early stage.

Students will use notebooks everyday to store and organize class handouts, notes, graded quizzes and tests, homework, readings, and projects. They will have to use the glue sticks, scissors, pencils, pens, markers, and index cards to build their daily interactive science journal into an amazing masterpiece.

At the end of the year, these students can look back and see all of the content they have learned throughout the year and be ready to share with their parents, how science is used everyday in our lives.
