Critical Thinking Supplies for Gifted Students

Help me give my students tools to be scientists, code breakers, and critical thinkers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Leftwich's classroom raised $495

My Project

My students thrive on learning. They love learning new information, conducting experiments, and using critical thinking skills to crack codes. They need supplies to satiate their curiosity and push them to achieve higher levels of knowledge.

With your help, my students will be able to create chemistry experiments to help them learn about the world around them.

By mixing ingredients and conducting experiments, they will know what happens when certain mixtures are combined. They will apply that knowledge to the real world. It will help them learn to be objective to reason and solve problems.

That brings us to our second item: a BreakoutEDU box and subscription. My students love finding clues to crack codes. They enjoy completing escape rooms and solving mysteries. With a BreakoutEDU box, they will be able to not only solve puzzles; but they will also be able to create their own games for others to solve.
