My Students

They are growing and learning in the same small, country, school community. In my classroom I have had a very diverse group of over 50% are receiving a variety of academic accommodations such as speech, OT, MTSS, EBD and ASD services. I am the primary Math and Science teacher in Second grade. I transition twice a day with some children mainstreaming throughout the day. We are packed over capacity and classroom organization is difficult.

Our school is filled with very bright, excited, and inspired students that need a more organized classroom environment for all of their supplies.

I am limited in funds, and to accommodate the size of my classes I need some help. I want my students to have the best experience possible while they're in my class. Please consider helping us on this amazing and exciting journey through exploring Science and Math in the most efficient way possible.

My Project

To fully enrich our science curriculum, students need to experience science first hand. This allows students to full grasp the wonders and awes of the science fields. In order to do so, we are in need of science materials that will bring science to life for our students, including a root vue planter, betta fish aquarium, solar system, Galileo thermometer and barometer, as well as several kits for experiments.

As Jean Jacques Rosseau once said, "We should not just teach children the sciences, but give them a taste for them".

We need a stronger presence of Science in the classroom. Being funded will help us begin that process of having a designated Science area in the classroom. Filled with a variety of Sciences from Geology and Biology to the Solar System! We will also be able to display our Science Experiments and grow our Science knowledge all at once.
