As a biology teacher, I strive to make science interesting, fun and hands on. Coming from a low socioeconomic area and having dealt with two major hurricanes in the past three years (Hurricane Matthew and Hurricane Florence), my students are constantly defying the odds. It is my wish to provide my students with the knowledge they need to succeed in whatever step they take next; whether it be college, additional education or the workforce.
About half of the students at my school are economically disadvantaged.
My students are eager to learn and willing to work hard in order to succeed. It is my wish to create a classroom, a safe place, for my students to be able to learn, work and collaborate. I wish to provide them with adequate resources, creating an equal learning opportunity for all students.
My Project
Biology is a difficult subject for some kids because it is a lot of content and new information. In order to deliver content in a way students will understand, we construct interactive notebooks. These notebooks act as a huge reference to all biology topics. We are requesting tape, toothpicks, paper, markers, clipboards and more.
By donating to our project, you will not only help make Biology interactive, you will ultimately help increase student achievement.
My students understand concepts better when they can do hands-on activities such as interactive notebooks, gallery walks, labs, scavenger hunts, etc. This project will allow us to do just that.
I have been doing interactive notebooks and hands-on activities for the past six years and the increase in student achievement and participation is evident. Please help make Biology fun for my students!
