I am a 4th grade teacher that works with students from a high-need area that loves to work with their hands and are excited about me teaching science to them. Students attend a title I school and any extra help or materials we can get would be very appreciated by my classroom of students, because they get excited over a pencil that is given to them. My Students come into the classroom every morning and look up on the schedule to see if we are learning about science. When they see SCIENCE written on the board they get so excited and are so on task! They love doing hands on investigations on what makes something work or how its formed, and therefore I feel that the students would benefit from being able to learn and breathe science this year. After all, who doesn't remember more when it is something that they are interested in. I have started my teaching of science off with the science processes, and they have touched, tasted and viewed many different objects, categorized objects, sorted etc. Now that they understand what it means to be a scientist, it would be a shame to just teach them through books and videos. That is why I would love to obtain this rock kit where they can make crystals, touch and observe minerals in there natural form and study rocks as they learn about earth and the way it forms and continues to change. This Rock kit has it all and will aid the teacher in many wonderful experiments and opportunities to study the rocks that are on the 4th grade core. As a donor you will bless the lives of students that have the desire to learn and know about the world around them, that may never have this opportunity without someone like you reaching down into your heart and making a child's dream of advancing in a subject that will bring them the self-esteem that they can achieve in Science, and if in science then maybe in math and in reading also. This is where a student of low income but high dreams can be touched, and become a life long learner. My students need a rocks and minerals set.
The cost of this proposal is $495, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment Ms. L. sent this note after the project was fully funded: On May 22, 2008, Ms. L. followed this note with student letters sent via mail to the donor who completed this project, and to donors who gave $100 or more.
