My Project

Help transform our science classroom! My students thrive in our STEM class because our learning is direct, hands on, explorative, and much more!

I am asking for your help to bring the Lakeshore hands on science kit, flexible seating, fun pencils and basic supplies, and exciting posters to my classroom.

The Lakeshore Hands-on science kit does not just meet the grades standards, it provides opportunity for students to really experience science on their own not just hear about it from other people’s stories. Nancy B's Science Club Hydroponics Kit and other STEM kits will help students learn about plants and other science topics.

Flexible seating will give the students opportunity and freedom to choose their learning spots that help them focus and collaborate. We are frequently engaging in group projects and flexible seating will make the transition to group work seamless and comfortable for the students!

Science posters will help transform our classroom into a more colorful and content driven environment. They will spark curiosity and reinforce key concepts we are learning during instruction. Visuals like the water cycle, ecosystems, and more do so much more than just decorate the walls. They become a learning tool and reference point.

Your support will create a space that inspires discovery, movement, and meaningful learning. Thank you for helping me build a classroom where science comes alive!
