My Students

Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world each and every day.

I am a special education teacher servicing the needs of individuals with social and emotional behaviors in grades 1st through 12th.

My students are smart, creative, and hardworking individuals.

My students are very special to me and deserve the best. They are superstars and excel every day with smiles on their faces.

Science is a very important subject but is under-studied in school so I'm requesting materials so that my students can have access to concrete hands-on material such as the science books and materials, that will expand their vocabulary and understanding of key concepts and skills.

The materials that are related to this project are very important because they relate to ways in which the students can navitgate and enjoy the many different ways science can be fun and enjoyable.

The materials requested will help the students learn about

ways in which we can study the periodic table of elements, physical science, life science and earth science. This will help in discovering the way science works throughout the world and exciting and accessible experiences.

My Project

My students need science posters to hang on the walls in the classroom to help with their ability to understand how science works through out the world and throughout their lives.

Science is a great way for the students to have fun and learn in which ways life,physical, and earth development has grown throughout the years.

The posters will be great to hang in my new science classroom to bring awareness to the ways science works. The posters will be there for the students to study and use throughout the year to enjoy and have fun learning through multiple multi media ways.
