My Students

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -- Benjamin Franklin --That is what I want to do with my students. The benefits of hands-on learning are widely acknowledged among educators, and during the past 20 years brain research has underscored its importance.

I teach sixty fabulous fifth graders who have been identified as gifted.

We are part of a large metropolitan public school district in Alabama and most of the children are on free lunch program. Each day I have different students come from the various schools for gifted class and for most this is the only way they are exposed to an advance curriculum which is suitable for their intellect.

My Project

In planning my 'Endangered! Planet Earth' unit, I decided that it is important to have my students experience many hands-on activities. This unit emphasizes the environmental issues facing us today and those we will face in the future and adaptation of plants and wildlife. The purchase of barn owl pellets will educate the students about owls by examining their roles in nature by dissecting owl pellets.

Supporting our project will make it possible for my students to have this very important learning experience.

I can "Tell them" - but they may forget. I can "Teach them" and they may remember. But, most importantly, if I "Involve them" they will learn. Without your help, my students will not be able to be involved, thus learn.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
