Savvy Scientists

Help me give my students a hands-on experience in our second grade science class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Aulino's classroom raised $329

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

My Project

Help me give my students hands-on materials to help them become real scientists in our classroom. We are going to be studying the human body and insects later this year in the spring and these materials will help students make connections between their world and the real world. We are requesting Painted Lady Butterfly Kit, Insect in Resin Specimen Bugs, Wooden Mason Insect Bee Butterfly House and more.

With this project, each student will have hands-on tools and experiences to help facilitate their learning.

This project will help supply our classroom with the necessary supplies for a cooperative learning experience. We will be able to see models of human organs and insects in resin cases. The students are going to love seeing models of what we are learning.
