My Project

The items in this project will make a huge difference for my middle school students! As the 8th-grade homeroom teacher, math teacher, and science teacher, many middle school learning and extracurricular activities with start with the items included. The math and science workbooks will provide much-needed practice and structure for essential skills to learning grade-level content; the dissections specimens are a big hit each year in middle school and are a fantastic hands-on incentive and motivator; and the awards materials will make the 8th grade Move Up Ceremony spectacular and help alleviate the pressures of class dues, allowing an even more enjoyable end-of-year experience.

My students love hands-on, real-world experiences.

Opportunities to try things firsthand, such as working with dissection specimens, will motivate them to learn and invest in the growth of these activities. The Move Up ceremony is a source of pride for students and families, and the awards they receive are a reflection of their hard work and dedication.
