My Students

This year I am teaching Science to k-5. My students are always curious and always eager to learn. They come from diverse backgrounds and learning abilities. Some of my students come from disadvantaged neighborhoods and have minimal knowledge of science materials and tools.

As we all know, the enthusiasm for Science starts at a very young age.

My goal is to provide them with all the necessary tools and expose them to different materials we can use to learn about science topics.

My Project

Every week, I use a lot of paper to print tons of resources such as vocabulary cards, task cards, activity sheets, lab procedures. I try my best to preserve and reuse it, but most of the papers are torn, damaged, or wrinkled.

Laminators can preserve all my instructional materials so I do not have to constantly print them out for each class.

Having a laminator can help me reuse my center activities during my Science lab investigations.

We would greatly appreciate your support in helping us continue to grow our new and innovative life skills program. Your support will help students reach exciting goals, obtain real-life work experience, and increase their overall learning experience!
