Help me give my students a chance to handle and truly experience fossils!

My Students

My students are my life! For me, making their lives better and more enriched is my passion! We live in the urban city of Charlotte, and I have students of every kind. The diversity is amazing. We have students of all races, religions, and socioeconomic statuses.

My students are scholars!

Often, I get visitors observing my class, and they see a variety of things happening such as me standing on desks, singing, dancing, doing experiments, students working in stations and collaborative groups, or students teaching other students. My students have a thirst for knowledge, and they always strive to fly higher than the rest! We are Ravens!

My Project

Please help our eighth grade science department give our students hands-on experience with fossils. Without these items, students will just be looking at pictures and talking about them. With these fossils and additional education material, students will have a chance to observe, analyze, hypothesize, and identify the origin and type of fossils!

In science, I aim to inspire children with discovery!

Please help me to do this through these various fossils, for our almost 500 student, eighth grade class! Thank you for you consideration in helping with our project.
