Learning and Loving it: A Porthole into Science and Reading

Help me give my students the opportunity to have hands-on learning with STEM items and reading materials. We love to learn! Please help me give my students the chance to enhance their skills with books and Science materials.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Roningen's classroom raised $931

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students do not have the opportunity to use the items requested except through school. Being in a small rural town, most students have never had the experience to use these items. It is so important to have educational materials to use for additional learning, such as counters and magnifying glasses.

The book bundles allow students to improve their reading skills, providing them with print and become better readers.

Standard expectations through the state keep increasing, leaving teachers trying to keep up and look for materials on their own. That is not always possible, causing scores to decline.
