My Students
My students come from a mixed background of single-parent, traditional family, mixed family, and foster or grandparent care. Common to all, however, is the desire to be given the opportunity to explore and discover critical-thinking skills needed by all as they transition from being the students of today to the leaders of tomorrow. My students are ambitious, kind, and ready to learn cross-cutting science and engineering concepts. Your donation will provide resources for these students I love. We are currently working with the 5E lesson structure that includes inquiry-based labs and interactive notebooks. The final key needed is consistent technology in my classroom.
My Project
I am requesting a classroom set of The Martian so that my class can read it together throughout the school year. I really feel like this is an important read as we study chemistry, ecology, geology and physics in our 8th grade integrated science class. I feel reading this particular novel will improve the science literacy in my classroom. I look forward to being able to incorporate the book into many lessons throughout the year. Your kind consideration will improve my classroom. We will be using this resource throughout the school year in each of my classes. I know the students will be really engaged in this ongoing learning activity.
