My Students

I am an eighth science grade teacher in Pennsylvania. I teach 110 students who rotate among four classrooms. I also have a wide range of reading abilities in my classroom. I have many IEP students in my classes and would love to have any extra support in implementing my research-based station activities. It's important that my students become science literate. All my students get free or reduced-price lunch. We are a great school working on being future leaders. With your help, we can become what the future is looking for.

My Project

I am asking for these materials in order to improve science understanding in my classroom. The cardstock will help all my students use different stations and become better science learners. They will be able to work collaboratively and become scientists. This will also help my future students since these can be reused over and over again. These materials will not only help us become scientists, they will help us become better readers. My students will be also research the topics and answer questions that are written on the cardstock. Please help us become better scientists and future leaders. Thank you for taking the time to read this project.
