Help me give my students some creative alternatives to learning from the book. As a special education teacher, it is difficult to plan multiple subject areas in the time allotted each day.

My students are sweet and unique teens in the urban public school - in Rochester NY. There are very few opportunities and funds for our students and generally, teachers try to afford as many opportunities as possible for hands-on and more interactive lessons as possible. I’m currently teaching a self-contained Earth science course for students with severe social and emotional concerns. (12:1:1 SC).
For the last 8 years Shadow, our beloved classroom rabbit, offered students support in reducing stress caused when triggered.
Unfortunately, Shadow passed, of natural causes, not too long ago devastating everyone. Not great timing with present-day tensions and stresses so high. Therefore, We have adopted a new bunny, Hopkins, as named by my students - is curious- and my students are curious as to what she likes, and needs.
Our beloved pet has not only offered a soft friend and companionship to my students but also has offered a spark to their curiosities in science- a field so often considered “difficult” or “too hard” for them. They are designing “enrichment” activities for her, so that she too may enjoy our learning environment.
Students in urban schools rarely have enough supplies to do hands-on labs and are often given things to read beyond their level. Most often they feel overwhelmed -and not smart enough to continue their science interests.
It is my job and privilege to help bring hands-on foldables, and escape rooms to enhance their understandings of complex science topics.
I want to spark their curiosities, and allow them to enjoy their science classes as they grow in understanding. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but, you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
