Every Friday, my students, in groups of 2 or 3, rotate through 10 different centers. These centers reinforce what we have been learning throughout the week. Currently, it is a struggle to make centers that are both educational and engaging.

With these new centers, learning will be reinforced by games and other fun activities. The three different centers I am requesting are Science, Social Studies, and Reading & Writing.

The Science centers are packed with fun science activities kids can complete on their own! Each center includes 13 different activities, plus all the materials for each one—including a nonfiction book, vocabulary cards, hands-on manipulatives and more. Students just grab a write & wipe activity card, then follow the simple instructions to investigate concepts at their own pace!

The Social Studies centers feature books, hands-on manipulatives and fun, step-by-step activities that put social studies concepts at students’ fingertips! Each center includes 13 different write & wipe activity cards, plus a nonfiction book, handy guide cards and more.

The Reading & Writing centers help students master word families, develop grammar skills, boost comprehension and more—with skill-building centers that let them work at their own pace! Each center comes with 4 sets of hands-on materials, plus a double-sided chart with illustrated instructions that are super-easy to follow.

I teach second grade at Williams Elementary which has a population of approx 650 students. Our school is nestled in a small community. It used to be largely populated by family farms; however, that has changed. Industry is the main way of life for most of our families. Because of industries leaving our area, we have a 40% free lunch population. This means that 40% of our students qualify for free lunch!

Asking our families to help with the cost of a project like this just doesn't seem fair. Some of my families have trouble putting food on the table, how could I possibly ask them to help out monetarily?

If you would help fund this project, you would be helping to create meaningful "events" for my students where they will learn, but also enjoy the journey.

Thank you for looking at my project.

My students need learning centers that reinforce what we are learning.
