My students need hands-on learning materials for Science. I have two grade levels in my class, and therefore two different topics that I must cover. My students learn best when they can learn hands-on.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Garcia's classroom raised $413

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My classroom is one of self-esteem, discovery, thinking outside of the box, and reaching beyond what anyone thought was possible for my students. I have a 12:1:1 special education class in a low-income, high poverty neighborhood.
All of my students have some form of learning disability but, I don't see that.
Each and every one of my students has the ability, and DESIRE, to reach for more. For some of them, school is the most stable environment they have, with the adults as their "parents". I strive to provide not just a classroom with multiple learning paths, but a family setting in which they feel safe, loved, and wanted.
My Project
All of my students have disabilities and therefore, there are many different learning styles in my classroom. However, the one style that all of my students seem to excel in is when they can learn hands-on.
Science is probably the number one subject in my classroom.
However, they can not properly learn Science without being hands-on. I need rocks, magnifying glasses, and hardness testing kits to teach my kids all about Earth Science. Additionally, I need life cycle examples, larvas that turn into butterflies, and interactive smart board lessons/games that will expand their learning. I want to provide the best for my class.
