My students walk into our science classroom every day eager to learn something new. I am often greeted with the question of "What are we doing today?" because they know something different, fun, and engaging is likely to happen.
I teach at a Title I school where 100 percent of the students receive free breakfast and lunch.
More than three-quarters of our students are from low-income households. Despite their hardships, our students still come to school everyday ready to learn.

It is that time of year where a lot of germs make it into the classroom. With the winter season comes the common cold and flu. Students love to interact with each other and that makes it easier to pass the microbes that cause sickness.
Having a clean classroom is key to healthy learning.
Every classroom needs supplies like tissues, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, and mop to help keep the classroom clean and healthy for students. Often with coughs and sneezes, these items are needed to be immediately available to the students. When students are physically not at their best, their learning will also suffer.
