My Students

My students live in a large, urban district with very limited resources. Despite a lack of basic supplies, my students come to school ready and eager to learn. As their teacher, I want to provide my students with the best education possible where they are challenged to reach their highest potential.

My Project

Children are naturally inquisitive! They get excited about learning various science topics while conducting hands-on experiments and always want to know more!

Help me give my students the opportunity to delve in deeper to various science topics through non-fiction, informational text.

The books that I am requesting directly tie into our science units on matter and space exploration. Students will be able to expand their knowledge not only through only hands-on learning, but also solidify learning in the connections they make through research and reading. Thank you in advance for supporting our future scientists!
