Mr. Poss Forest Heights STEM Academy
Little Rock, AR Grades 6-8

You can provide high-need 6th grade students in Arkansas with the tools they need to learn about our planet.

My students are extremely curious about the world, but there's just not enough educational materials to go around for all of them to have a chance to use and learn from. You can help!

The resources I have requested will allow me to teach each and every student in such a way that they actually get to TOUCH the learning materials. The rock kits will help the students classify and organize different types of minerals found on Earth, the globe will allow them to imagine what our planet is like deep in the core and mantle, the earth science flip chart will open up a new world every day in class as students are able approach it and write with their own hand on materials which will be used to teach their peers.

Your help will allow my students to take learning from the book and see it come alive in front of them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
