Ms. Faulkenburg from Columbia, SC is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Everything My Students Need to Learn Science!

My students need these books because they are concrete, and they are researched and written for them. These are students who need practice in using books as resources, as their first impulse is Google.

My Students

My students attend a school in a suburban environment outside of Columbia, South Carolina. 54% of my students come from a minority background and approximately 50% receive free or reduced lunch. My students have plenty of exposure to technology, and I want to enhance their learning experience by having engaging science books to help them understand my science curriculum.

These students come from very different backgrounds and have a range of talents, abilities, and dreams.

They come to me for sixty minutes a day, five days per week. Having current science titles to access will open up a whole new world for these kids!

My Project

Our students have so much access to technology, and part of my mission this year is to help them to understand that they can't trust everything they read on the internet. Their first impulse is to head to Google and they usually just click on the first link and go with it.

These books are well researched and are written in such a manner that will appeal to my students.

They are aligned to my standards, and are full of bright colors and graphics. I plan to have a copy of this book accessible to each of my students so that they can access it at any time during my class.
