My Project

Learning about Earth science is super exciting when craft materials are involved. I teach newcomers to the country. This can be challenging at times.

Students are much more involved when incorporating craft materials into the science lesson.

Our curriculum includes Earth and space science.

We are very excited to be a part of Donor's Choose. Students will progress and be successful when the materials arrive. They get so excited to be able to learn in their new country and new language. Hands-on experiences are so engaging! The students will be so involved. We need Crayola pencils, markers, clay, and paint. We also need Grafix shrink film, Mod Podge, beads, stickers, laminating pouches, magnetic tiles, and bubbles. Students will create models of Earth and landscapes with these materials.
