My Project

My students are curious, creative, and full of potential. They come into my classroom each day ready to explore the wonders of the ocean, even if many have never seen it in person. What I love most is their determination to understand the world around them and their excitement when hands-on learning brings science to life.

Each resource I’m requesting will help turn our classroom into an interactive marine science lab.

From lab tools and ocean models to colorful visuals and activity kits, these materials will allow students to investigate real-world marine concepts like ecosystems, conservation, and climate change. With the right supplies, I can offer them engaging experiences, like water testing, species identification, and model reef construction, that deepen learning and inspire future scientists.

The Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) gift card will allow me to purchase high-quality enrichment activities created by other educators, activities that support diverse learning styles and keep students engaged at all levels. These include interactive notebooks, project-based learning guides, review games, and literacy-based resources that enhance both understanding and creativity.

These resources aren’t just tools, they’re opportunities. They give my students a chance to ask big questions, explore possible careers, and gain confidence in their ability to impact the planet. Your support will help bring their learning to life and their dreams closer to shore.
