My Students

Fifth grade is such a fine time to be alive! In my classroom, students learn to not just admire scientists but to become one. We explore learning through encompassing their individual learning styles and modes. If it's auditory, then we focus on listening and dissecting key information, facts, and data to garner understanding and foster knowledge. However, visual and kinesthetic learners need to see, feel, and move to further enhance their educational experience. And that's where you can help!

DonorsChoose.org can open up doors and provide an invigorating learning experience that will not only impact their education but potentially impact their lives as life-long learners.

I teach at an inner-city school in the heart of Springfield with a demographic of 96% Latino and African American students. My students are already faced with substantial circumstances beyond their control before they step into my classroom. Living at or below the poverty line, many resources and programs are not accessible to them as others, that if provided, could catapult their growth, development, and all-embracing elementary experience.

My Project

The technology equipment will ensure that all students are able to get a full experience virtually. The wireless mic will make teaching and demonstrating labs a breeze. All the various food supplies and materials will be placed in a take-home 'bag-lab' to complete the investigations virtually. They will be able to dive deeper into the lesson concepts and understand the phenomena in life all around us. These students will already have an unconventional school year of learning: please help me give them a conventional love for science through exploration!
