My Students

We are located in a remote and rural part of Idaho. We actually have more cows in our area than we do people. It is a farming community with a wide variety of students. We have some students who are learning English for the first time and some who are very talented students. As a teacher, I strive to provide the best learning atmosphere possible while also pushing my students to reach their maximum potential. Our students are the builders of tomorrow: the teachers, scientists, farmers, mothers, fathers, doctors, engineers, dreamers, and doers.

My Project

We are in need of basic supplies for our science curriculum. Without these supplies, we are unable to fully investigate, explore, create, or design the experiments that come with learning about sound waves, the human body, engineering and design, and the Earth.

We use Mystery Science to learn about our world and need the items used in each lesson to complete the experiments.

These items include Crayola Broad Tip markers, paper clips, rubber bands, binder clips, chipboard, and other basic classroom items. Using these materials, my students are able to dive into the hands-on learning of sound waves, the human body, engineering and design, and the Earth.

Please help me bring science to life for my students with these basic science supplies!
