My Students

Little things add up! Teachers know how much money is spent out-of-pocket every year for much needed supplies. My students use interactive notebooks in Earth Science class to maximize learning. The materials needed to create and keep up these notebooks don't seem like much, but add up quickly!

My students are high school students with IEPs, who are on a general diploma curriculum track.

This means they are striving for a regular high school diploma while facing some significant learning challenges. In my science classroom, I use a variety of high-tech and low-tech strategies in order to reach all learners, and maximize learning and comprehension. Hands-on interactive notebooks have improved student understanding and achievement. The materials used in the creation and maintenance of these notebooks can be expensive, and I would LOVE to have my classroom supplied for the 2012-2013 school year.

My Project

Using interactive notebooks increases student comprehension and creates a sense of ownership in the classroom. My students love the variety of activities we are able to do with these notebooks, and enjoy the folding, cutting, and coloring that naturally occur with this type of notebook. Coupled with Interactive White Board technology, my students are actively involved in their learning. Gone are the days of teacher-lead learning - through the use of interactive notebooks, my students are involved participants in the learning process.

I don't know of a single teacher who does not spend personal money on his/her classroom.

With school budgets decreasing nation-wide, the money for the little things needed for the day-to-day operation of a classroom falls more and more on classroom teachers. That is why I am requesting paper, a paper trimmer, tape, glue sticks, index cards, highlighters, and other assorted materials for interactive science notebooks. Funding of this project may allow me to allocate some of my limited classroom budget to other 'big-ticket' items.
