Pause For A Moment Of Science: Enhancing The Learning Environment
Help me give my students lab table stools and calculators! The lab stools will encourage a space of hands-on learning and improve concentration on the lab assignment. New calculators is a simple form of technology necessary to complete complex science lab assignments correctly and safely.

My Students
My students come from many diverse backgrounds. I truly enjoy teaching each and every student that walks through my door, they all have a different story and willingness to be heard. I teach Science and when they walk in the room to see we are participating in a lab, their faces light up. I love when they're eager to learn and how excited they are to see new supplies in the classroom. They love the labs because it is hands on learning and keeps them engaged. They are continuing to grow and learn how to collaborate with one another during class.
My Project
This will be my third year teaching Science in the P. Public School District. Each year, I am excited to help my students succeed and in doing so, I am constantly looking for opportunities to provide them a safe learning environment where they feel comfortable to learn. This project will not only benefit my current students, but students in the future as well. The lab table stools and calculators will last us many years.
The calculators will provide my students with technology they otherwise do not have access to.
The stools will provide a flexible seating arrangement that gives the students the option to sit down while completing a lab as opposed to standing. This will increase classroom engagement because they need calculators to complete the assignments, and the seating will improve concentration because the students will be more comfortable and attentive to instruction.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
