I am a first-year teacher teaching 5th and 6th grade math, science, and social studies. I teach in a rural area with most of my students living below the poverty level. I want to bring kinesthetic learning tools into my classroom as a way to instill a love for learning in my students at a young age.
My students are very excited to learn about the human body this semester and materials such as the GIANTmicrobes - Blood Cells Box will give them a chance to interact with the content in an engaging way.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
