Mrs. B. Martin L King Middle School
Milton, FL Grades 6-8

Are you a visual learner? Do you like to learn hands on? Does the Human Body interest you? These are all questions that my 7th grade life science classes would say yes to. That's why I'm writing today. I'm seeking assistance to provide my classroom with a life size, budget friendly, plastic skeleton and cover.

Coming from a high poverty level school, one could only imagine how important education is to children in the classroom. This year the budget for classroom funding has dropped significantly, resulting in more teachers dipping into their own pockets to provide our students with enrichment materials. However, you can only afford so much, especially someone in my shoes being a first year teacher. I want to make learning more interesting and fun, I want to bring to life whats on the pages of our science books. I would like the children to be able to see the skeleton, touch it, examine it, and get a real life hands on learning experience when we study the human skeleton.

I hope that by writing this someone one can help me provide my eager students with a wonderful and exciting opportunity to study the human body up close and hands on. In order to fulfill this need, I need a generous donor(s) to help me raise money to purchase a budget friendly plastic skeleton with cover, as well, as the Human Skeleton VHS.

Your help will be greatly appreciated. Your generosity will ensure my students receive this scientific and educational opportunity to own and study their very own plastic skeleton. I can only imagine what their faces would look like if we were able to receive the resources I have asked for. I want to say thank you, from not only myself, but from my classes as well, to everyone that has read this and everyone who gives. Thank you so much!!!! Thanks for impacting a child's' life!
