My Students

My students love learning and when they have an opportunity to explore, they jump in with both feet.

My students are a diverse group in our little school, each coming from different economic backgrounds and family structures.

As different as they all are, they all love to explore and learn. When given the chance, they create wonderful projects and have fantastic ideas to pursue. They just need the tools to help them on their journey.

My Project

Having microscopes and magnifying glasses will help them in their discoveries. Whether they're checking what tiny life might live in the river or brook near our school, getting a closer look at the animal life on their playground or in our outdoor classroom, or getting a closer look at the molted shells of our classroom Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. The electronic microscope will also integrate technology by helping them share with our community what they're finding by sharing their discoveries on their blogs.

Being new to this school, I began with very little for supplies.

So far this year, I've seen how curious, imaginative, and fascinated my students are in the world around them. Having these microscopes and magnifying glasses will help to encourage their curiosity and encourage their learning.
