My Students

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." ~Carl Sagan I want my classroom to be the place where students create, explore and discover!

My school is a Title 1 school in a suburb that borders a major city in Michigan.

We have a very transient population due to the many rentals in the neighborhood. In addition to having a transient student population, we also have students who come from homes where English is a second language. Despite the many challenges my students face on a daily basis, they are eager to learn and want to take everything in! I see students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade for science enrichment.

My Project

Science enrichment is a new addition to our school day. I will be servicing children in grades kindergarten through fifth grade--every child in my school! Since this is a new class offering, I am looking to set up an inviting classroom where my students can explore and discover a variety of scientific topics. The materials I am requesting will help my students become the scientists I know they are! The safety goggles will be used to show students that we will always be safe as we learn and explore! The others materials will be used for experiments and the butterfly habitat will teach my kindergarten and first grade students about life cycles.

Your support of this project will help my student to develop a sense that they are scientists!

They can use the metal filings and magnets to explore. They can mix and create using the graduated cylinders. I will be able to elaborate in what they are learning in their classrooms because your donation will provide us with the tools to do so!
