My Project

During Covid, hands on learning took a back seat to online learning. I would love me to give my students more exposure to hands on learning and give them the supplies in the classroom to do it.

Students have become more disengaged with academics since Covid.

Hopefully by making science more inquiry based and fun I can draw their interest back into school. The biodiversity, wastewater treatment and productivity science kits will help increase their hands on experiences. I also ordered supplies such as pencils, colored pencils and a pencil sharpener to make sure my kids have all the tools they need for their activities.
