My Students

Have you ever had the desire to do something but found you did not have the materials needed? This is a problem my students are faced with every day.

I teach in a low income school.

Most of our students receive free/reduced cost lunch and are unable to afford even the most basic school supplies. We have a high population of ESOL, LD self-contained, and resource room students. I have students who have the desire to learn but do not have the materials. Many of them have very few life experiences, outside of school, to connect to their learning.

My Project

With today's economic crisis it is difficult to get additional materials to supplement the needs of our students. Hands on science materials will help me meet the needs of every child in my classroom, while allowing students to "see" the content instead of just being taught it. By working with the requested resources my students will be able to deepen their understandings of science and make connections between the curriculum and their classroom experiences.

These hands on learning experiences will allow my students to develop a love for science while providing connections to the content we are learning in class.

By working with the magnifiers, plant lab, rocks and minerals kit, discovery boards and other resources requested instead of just learning about science in an abstract way, the students will not only understand the how and why of things but will develop an appreciation for the world around us.
