My Students

Do you remember how exciting science experiments were as a young student? I want my kids to be that excited about science as well!

I have 19 students at a high poverty school.

We are at a high poverty school in North Carolina that is striving to get more funds and resources for our kids but they are just not available through our school district. My kids deserve the very best and that is what we are trying to get for them!

My Project

My kids love to learn but with a high emphasis on reading and math science sometimes gets pushed to the side or forgotten. I want to get these items to enrich their lives through the common core. Everything I am requesting is aligned to the common core. The magnet instant learning station, the force and motion, and the planet are all standards that my students must know for second grade. As well as the five senses.

My project is important because I want my students to have as many hands on activities in the room as possible.

Worksheets just don't cut it when it comes to science they need to see it hands on as much as possible!
