My Project

Help my students have access to the microscopic world! As a science lab teacher, it is important for my students to have access to high quality prepared slides to learn about the five kingdoms of our world. We are fortunate to have brand new microscopes but we have nothing to look at!

Help my ENL students connect the observable world with the new words we are encountering.

My students learn best when they can see the words we say in English. Learning microscope skills will help them grow as learners and be confident!

Ms. Puccio Intermediate School 002 George L Egbert Grades 6-8
