My Students

We need help!!! Doing research is hard enough, but try doing it without the proper materials. It's like riding a bike without using training wheels to learn first.

We are a high poverty school district and with the economy like it is getting each student to bring the materials required to do a research paper is hard.

Many of our parents live paycheck to paycheck and the added cost of these materials adds a burden.

My Project

These resources will enhance and make the research process much easier. I am hoping that if the children have the proper tools to help them, they will be more likely to enjoy learning how to do research. Colored highlighters and index cards will make finding and organizing information easier. Having a folder to keep information together will also cut down on lost material.

Who knows??

This may inspire someone to become a researcher and find a cure for many diseases. At least it will help prepare them for the next three years in school, because they will be writing new research papers each year.
