Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

There's no bones about it! My 9th grade Biology students love learning about their own bodies. I teach a special education class in a high-need, low-income community in New York.

In October we are starting a unit on human body systems, beginning with the musculoskeletal system. Students love seeing how common daily tasks, such as brushing their teeth or kicking a ball, require the coordination of many muscles and bones. My students learn especially well when they have a visual aid to accompany a concept or topic.

Last year we used a classroom skeleton inherited from an older school, but it has no skull, no arms, no forelegs, and many broken ribs. It is a sad example of the human skeletal system.

We need a classroom skeleton that will show students a complete model of the bones in their body. Special education students are especially impacted when they learn visually, aurally, and kinesthetically. Your donation will make it possible for my students to see their bodies in action through a classroom skeleton. Please help!
