Help me give my students a magnifying glass to use for at-home learning.
FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Rose Malinowski's classroom raised $379
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students live in a low-income/high-poverty urban school district. Their experiences are limited. They are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom, with challenges including emotional trauma, a high mobility rate, and many other special needs.
Many of them are being raised in single-parent households, and 99% receive free lunch and breakfast.
My students are 70% Hispanic and 30% African-American. I have several ELL students in my class as well as special needs students. The majority of my students are far below the national and state standards in reading and math.
My Project
I am teaching STEAM as an enrichment class this year and we are starting remotely. I would love to give my students the science tools they need to learn at home and be scientists!
Magnifying glasses for each of my students will provide them with a science tool to explore the world around their home.
I plan to tailor assignments that utilize the magnifying glass for all my grade levels, K-8. For my youngest learners, I will have them explore worms and find out what lives under rocks. For my older students, we will be exploring mold and other particles in the home. All my students will be making observations and recording their findings in an online journal with words and pictures.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
