My Students

I teach biology, marine science and physical science. My students love to do labs. Hands-on learning is more engaging for them. They learn more and they retain more. To do our lab activities, we need to have a clean and safe lab. We need cleaning supplies to keep things in order.

Our school community is a rural public high school in Hawaii.

Many of my students have mild and moderate disabilities. We are in a high poverty area with many of students qualifying for free lunch. Many live with single parents, relatives, or foster parents. Despite these challenges, my students are bright, and many aspire to go to college.

My Project

I have been fortunate enough to receive some materials from DonorsChoose for my classroom. People have been very generous to my classroom. However, in order to engage in our labs, we need to be able to clean up after ourselves. This is a safety issue! I have been providing many of these items for my classroom but I cannot do it for the whole year. We need a broom and dustpan. We need soap, sponges and paper towels. With winter coming, we need tissues as well. These simple things will make sure we can keep doing our labs all year long and that each class starts off with a clean and safe lab area.

Costs for small items really add up.

Part of doing our science lab is having the students take responsibility for safe cleanup. In order for them to do that, we need simple supplies like a broom and dustpan, soap, sponges, paper towels and more. Thank you for understanding how important the "little things" can be.
