My students need 22 materials such as ocean theme books, games, teacher guides, and real shells to spark their curiosity and help us dive deep into learning in our ocean unit.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Imagine living less than 5 miles from the ocean, but never having a chance to explore it. During our summer learning session, we're capping our unit of science exploration with a visit to the beach! These ocean study materials will kick off our learning.
Imagine passing your childhood in a violent, crime-ridden urban neighborhood.
You're 6 years old and you just want to touch a real sea shell for the first time and learn about hermit crabs. We serve over 300 families living in poverty. Our students have made huge gains in the 3 years we've been open. We are a public school committed to achieving equitable outcomes for a long-neglected population.
My Project
With these materials, we'll be able to create an entire thematic unit that will cross curricular boundaries, weaving in math, writing and reading to create an irresistible ocean investigation experience that students will long remember. Students will have multiple books at their reading level in the subject area, allowing them to produce written reports that will knock their parents' socks off!
Do you remember that feeling of intense interest in certain subjects that you felt as a kid?
How you just had to find out about puffer fish, the amazing facts about sharks that you shared at the dinner table? My students will become experts in the aspect of ocean life that fascinates them most. Experts, at age 6. It's a pretty awesome feeling, one that will build their confidence and drive to learn in later grades. Help light that fire. Please help fund this project.
