Ms. C.'s classroom raised $135

Did Someone Say... Pluto is Not a Planet!

My first graders need a Astro Lab Planetarium Activity Model and a motorized solar system.

Grades PreK-2

We went on a class trip to The American Museum of Natural History. My students really enjoyed learning about the solar system. Sadly to say we have no resources to support what they saw and learned at the museum. I am kindly asking for someone to donate a GeoSafari Motorized Solar System and Planetarium and an Astro Lab Planetarium Activity Model to us. The Motorized Solar System will provide my students with hands-on learning experiences. They will be able to observe the vastness of Space in a Dramatic Light Show! My students will be able to see close-up how the sun orbits and shine onto the planets as they orbit around it. Please make this possible with your support.

The Astro Lab Planetarium Activity Model will help my students understand the phases of the Moon, it simulate the solar system and project constellations onto the ceiling.

You can help my students reach the stars with your support. I always encourage them to reach for the stars. Now, you can be a part of the big picture by helping my students capture the stars and every thing beyond it.

Star light, star bright, the first star we see tonight, we wish we may, we wish we might, get the wish, we wish tonight! My project needs 1 GeoSafari Motorized Solar System and Planetarium and 1 Astro Lab Planetarium Activity Model.
