Environment study

Help me give my students the ability to learn about climate and the environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hamner's classroom raised $320

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students in my class will be learning about the environment and climate in science!

These materials will be used to learn how planting is important for the environment and how climate change effects us.

It is important that the kids have hands on learning added into our everyday schedule here at school and these supplies will make that happen.

In our special education classroom kids learn best when they are shown and given the chance to learn by hands on learning activities.

This project will show and teach them about our environment and our climate.
