Mrs. Tanner from Urbana IL is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Science Center

My students need more learning materials in our Science Center. We will use the rock collection, frog growth, and scale for exploration at this center.

My Students

Science Center can be one of the most interesting centers if it is stocked with the appropriate preschool friendly materials.

I have 30 students in my classroom.

15 students attend in the morning and 15 students attend the afternoon session. I work in a blended classroom; meaning students in my classroom are typically developing at risk, special education, and dual language learners. I have 5 different languages spoken within my classroom.

My Project

These materials will be pre-taught in large groups, small groups and put in the Science Center for them to explore independently with minimal adult assistance. The goal over-arching goal in Science Center is to have a variety of materials for student to access independently during center time.

My students love to see frogs and bugs in their every day environment and when this project becomes funded they will be able to explore them in the classroom as well.

Being able to measure the weight of different objects is great introduction to so many other academic skills. Having this scale will open up discussions on many different levels as we explore how much things weigh and objects that are lighter/heavier than another.
