Help me give my students a microscope to use. New school; no money!

My Project

I am a first year teacher in a brand new school! I have been spending my own money on class supplies for lessons, etc. We are starting our unit on cells and a microscope would be a bonus in their learning about cells. I have noticed their peak interest in cells and they have watched videos of cells under the microscope and I would love to make their excitement a reality. I have quite a few budding scientists in my classroom and curious minds.

My goals for this project is to give my students hands on experience so that they will learn that there are living things at a microscopic level.
