Please Help A New Teacher

Help me give my students the science lab materials, physical game tools, and food support since I am a new teacher and I really need them!

My Students

As a Chinese immersion program teacher, I have 51 fifth graders. My students are enthusiastic, persistent, and curious about the world. They take every science experiment seriously. In them, I see the character of a future scientist.

My students are proud to be able to say beautiful Chinese.

They love to learn Chinese, so we never lack passion in my classroom. In each lesson, countless small hands are raised high to answer questions. Sometimes they argue loudly and do their best to express their opinions. No one ever spoke any English in my classroom. Chinese have become a part of their lives.

They are my children; I love every one of them.

My Project

Since I am a new teacher, my classroom lacks a large number of teaching supplies. The science experiment tools I applied allow me to show my students better the magic of fifth-grade science experiments. Enough materials enable each of my students to participate in science activities. Rich investigations and students' operations will significantly enhance students' interest in learning science and exercise students' hands-on ability.

These science experiments satisfy the students' curiosity to explore the unknown.

At the same time, physical game equipment can reduce students' social-emotional impairment during the COVID-19 pandemic. When students play basketball or jump rope outdoors, they promote connection and communication through teamwork.

My students eat lunch at 11:10 a.m. every day. Most of them are so hungry by the afternoon that they can't concentrate on class. I hope these snacks I applied for could help so that they can put more effort into their learning.
