My Students

I teach fifth-grade math and science at a Head Start through 5th-grade elementary school in North Miami. Most of my students are high-poverty from Haitian backgrounds and have very limited technology at home.

Unfortunately, for most of our students, Internet access and the use of computers or any kind of technology, are luxuries that they just do not have at home.

My students are always excited to use technology in our classroom, and when we do math or science center activities, they rush to the workstations, in order to explore online resources. As aforementioned, most do not have computer access at home, so the only opportunity they have to learn using technology is at school.

Also, we need consumables and classroom supplies related to math and science, so that our students can get a "hands-on" experience while learning. We are also a STEAM-designated school in our second year and are still not yet up to standard when it comes to technological advances.

My Project

Please help me give hands-on science kits to each student to allow my students to experience hands-on science. This is important to support our grade-level science text. Since the CDC guidelines restrict the sharing of materials, providing a kit for every student is vital, to ensure that all students have equal access to what we are doing in class.

Science can be so exciting, and these hands-on activities will show students that!

Since students are at home, all family members can be involved in learning about weather through these hands-on kits! Help bring learning to life for my students!

I am requesting 21 MEGA Science lab kits that will explore various science topics in 5th grade
