Make No Bones About it, We Need a Skeleton

Help me give my students a life size human skeleton to bring it off the paper and into the classroom.

My Students

The students in my biology and Human Anatomy and Physiology classes are a mixture of general ed and special education students. They work together to make sure that every student is included and involved. Most of my students live in a rural area of the county and come from low-income homes.

The students sitting in my classroom make the future a little brighter!

Although many of them face daily obstacles that we could never understand, they come in energetic and ready to learn every day.

My Project

This skeleton would be a wonderful addition to our Human Anatomy and Physiology class. It would give my students the ability to see and touch, and not just see it on paper. I feel that having a life size skeleton in the classroom would help my students, especially my hands on learners, be able to have a better idea what the skeletal system actually looks like and how it functions.

Most of my students love this class and are beginning to consider careers in the medical field.

I look forward to watching them learn throughout this school year and beyond.
