My students need books and hands-on materials that will bring our study of ponds to life!

This project expired on December 30, 2008.

Mrs. W. Thompson Lifelong Learning Center
Vero Beach, FL Grades PreK-2

We are an exciting expeditionary learning school in a high-need community. We are working to meet the challenges of our students and create a learning environment where all students can be successful.

Our school is an Expeditionary Learning school located in a low economic area. We do not have the resources to go on expensive trips to conduct our field work. We hope to use the resources close to our school to allow the students to have hands-on field experiences.

We need research materials and learning center supplies to grab the interest of our students as we study pond life. We then plan to use the ponds within walking distance of our school to make hands-on discoveries. We need equipment and materials to make this a rewarding experience for our students.

Our goal is to encourage interest and curiosity in our students as they learn about the habitats in our community. We hope to make our study of pond life meaningful and authentic. Your help will make it possible for our students to have quality experiences despite a lack of funds for travel.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
