My Project

Starting in March and ending in April all across Ohio, schools will be taking their annual OST's (Ohio State Tests). I teach the tested subject in Biology. My class has been working very hard at preparing for these tests everyday. I am trying to build the GRIT within them while making the Biology content meaningful.

I am focusing primarily on the creative content side of things and love some of the materials from TPT.

I just need the funds to get these materials that align with my Biology standards.

Every year when I ask for donations and support, I don't have to worry about the funding factor and can focus on the actual teaching portion of my job. My tests scores constantly improve with the support I get from the public. So I thank you in advance, without the public I wouldn't be able to do this!
