My Students

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science."

My third graders shine as bright as the Florida sun!

These future leaders attend a Title I Elementary School. Most are on free or reduced lunch. They love to learn, but many do not get as much support at home as they need or deserve. Each of my students are unique and help create a wonderful classroom environment.

My Project

These hands-on science resources will enable my students to gain a much deeper understanding of real world science concepts than any worksheet could give them. The partner games will allow my students the opportunity to talk out concepts and teach each other. The computer programs will help struggling students as well as enrich students who have a higher level of understanding on the topic. By using these resources my students will not only gain a better understanding, they will gain confidence.

Your donation will not only help prepare my third graders for the challenges in fourth grade, but for life outside of the classroom.

You may be inspiring one of my students to become a doctor or a scientist!
