My Students
My classroom is an active, vibrant, exciting place of learning, where students come to drink deep and leave full of knowledge. Help me to make their cups overflow each day with this awesome, hands on, integrated, science based project!
My students attend a small, inner-city, Title I school in South Carolina.
Our school, while filled with over 70% free and reduced lunch, strives everyday to push our students to new heights! We engage our students with the Arts, wow them with our curriculum, and put their hands on every lesson. They are curious learners...like little sponges, soaking up every bit of information I can give them. They LOVE science. I work overtime trying to go deeper and get more for their wondering minds.
My Project
Every year I teach my 2nd graders how to create a research project. I do this to get them ready for projects that will be assigned for the rest of their school career. Our state standards focus on animal classifications and habitats, so I choose to assign an animal project. We currently use books from the library, but many of the books are older, the books are not always available when we need them, and many times we share between classes. I am requesting this science library of nonfiction animal books and Weekly Readers so that we can keep them in our room and use them for the projects, as well as different science activities all year long. We want our classroom to be a "zoo in here!"
My students deserve the best.
I want them to succeed in every part of my class and in life. I am up late even now, on a school night, trying to get the materials I need to create excitement through learning that will invite success into their lives. Help me help them by donating to this amazing science project!
