Ms. Cates Arlington Elementary Middle School 234
Baltimore, MD Grades 3-5

I am a third grade teacher in the inner city. I am determined to get students enthusiastic about Science.

We face many obstacles. With budget cuts my school is unable to provide students with the adequate materials that are needed to run a successful science class. Science is a subject that is often forgotten in the elementary schools.

With these learning materials, my students will have an opportunity to be exposed to all genres of science through independent and group learning. The manuals that are requested will give me and my class exciting and fun activities to utilize in our classroom laboratory.

Your help will be greatly appreciated. With your donations, I know with out a doubt you share the same vision as I do. "All children can learn no matter the circumstance or obstacle" Thank you in advance!!!!
