In our classroom, we work hard to make our learning is relevant to our everyday life. My students are very hands-on learners. Science labs are important to helping the class relate the learning to real life experiences.
My school is in a progressively growing rural community with total enrollment in pre-K through 5th grade of a little over five hundred fifty students.
The town population is approximately 70,000, with seventeen elementary schools in the district. The diversity at our school comes from the economic levels with approximately 45% of our students receiving free and reduced lunches. I teach twenty-five students in a self-contained second grade classroom.
My Project
My students will use these Forces & Motion, Simple Machines, and Magnet Activity Tubs and Labs for our science units. These kits will help to make our learning more relevant and hands-on. It will also promote collaboration and team work. The kits will help to support the common core standards that is being taught in the classroom by engaging the kids in their learning. It also helps to relate how science impacts to the local and global economics.
Your donation will help my students to truly understand the science of simple machines and forces and motion.
They will learn how these areas of study not only impact our daily lives but also our local, national, and global economics.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
