Mrs. Ball from Spartanburg SC is requesting lab equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Reward Learning

Help me give my students safety tools to be able to complete science projects, such as mixtures and solutions, electricity, and creating models. Also, the books will be added to our library to encourage strong reading skills.

My Students

My students are an amazing group who perform at a high level for their age. They work on grade-level and above-grade-level content. This group is the most well-behaved group of students that I have ever worked with. They love to read, and when we get new books they eagerly grab them up like candy. I would like to reward them with new books for our classroom library.

My Project

The eye goggle classroom set will be used by two 3rd grade classes to conduct science experiments safely. Our standards include creating models of mixtures and solutions, electricity, life science, etc...We also need to teach our students how to safely conduct experiments using safety tools.

In addition, the books will be added to our classroom library.

I have strong, passionate readers, who will enjoy reading these during independent reading time, Read to Succeed Reading Blocks, small group, and as a whole class. The books will give my students a greater selection to choose from.
