Stars to Inspire Future Stars

Help me give my students a star projector, so they can be inspired to learn about Earth's Patterns and the Universe.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gizunterman's classroom raised $1,192

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help me inspire the world of imagination and creativity in my students.

In science, the students will learn about the patterns of the earth and sky (stars, moon, earth's orbit, and atmosphere.)
Help me bring the stars to them this holiday season. I want to give each student their own star night light projector, so they can continue to grow their curiosity about the world and universe. With this amazing, all the students will be able to understand earth's amazing phenomenon, by collecting evidence from multiple sources and increasing knowledge to develop content
Any support would be so much appreciated! Since many of my students come from low socioeconomic households, I thought this would be a great multipurpose tool the students can use at home.
