My students are a creative bunch. We put on two showcases of learning each year and this year my students have some wonderful ideas. Sadly, those ideas are more difficult without proper materials.
Hands-on learning and fostering creativity is one of the many reasons I teach.
For that reason, I would like to get a Circuit Machine for the classroom. With this machine, we will be able to cut a variety of materials to not only prepare for our showcase of leaning, but allow us to do even more with our daily lessons.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
