Science-Based Learning Support

Help me give my students proper equipment and material to get organized! Most of these materials will go to our science department to help with projects, note-taking and creative ventures.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kea Arakaki-Tohara's classroom raised $671

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our students are energetic, family-oriented, hands-on, outdoorsy, and capable people.

Our school strives to create and sustain future leaders who are community contributors.

We live in a small, rural area and many of the families are related or know each other. All the students that I work with are spunky, personable and eager to learn new things.

My Project

These materials will help our students feel more organized in class, focus better (the exercise balls) and be able to have an extra whiteboard in class. The mini notebooks can help our students with taking kilo notes and work on their nature journals in science.

The extra materials will help with our students and teachers to feel prepared in class and ready to tackle the day!

The worksheets will help support our students if we are to go back home for distance learning.

We want to focus on more project-based activities and the materials that will be provided will support the movement towards more hands-on activities in class.
