Mrs. Martin from South Pekin IL is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Help Create a Passion for Math and Science

My students need a 3D Doodler Set to use in math and science in order to be able to compete with students from other, better equipped, school districts than ours.

My Students

My students are fabulous children; they are ready to learn! We are a small town, Title I school where all of our students get free meals and some of my students do not have a good home life. Coming to school and getting a warm breakfast and lunch is something they look forward to.

Seeing their eyes light up, a smile on their face, and them excited to get started for the day, is my motivation to make math class interesting day-in and day-out.

I enjoy teaching these students.

I find it challenging to motivate the students that are not interested in school. The challenge is to figure out why they are not interested. Many of them bring a lot of "baggage" with them to school. There are many sad stories. That is why it is important to make their time at school count; to educate them and teach them how to learn, so they have the ability to change their life as they get older. Thanks for your interest.

My Project

There are several reasons why I think this 3D Doodler bundle would be great for our school. First, I want to create a passion for learning math and science in my students. This 3D Doodler bundle is the perfect tool to help do this.

Even though we are a low income school, I want my students to have state-of-the-art technology to learn with.

These students are going to be seeking jobs in the future, and I want them to be competitive with students from wealthier school districts.

In addition, many students are visual learners and these doodle pens would help them see objects three dimensionally. This could help these students immensely. This 3D bundle, when used in the classroom, could help students to see opportunities in the areas of math and science, as well as engineering, design, and more!

The uses for this 3D bundle are endless, and we would be thrilled to own it.

Thanks for considering to help us make this project a reality.
