My Students

I teach second graders. These second graders are so excited to participate in school when hands-on approaches and technology are involved. They are smart and creative. They are excited to participate in writer's workshop and publish all types of stories and create all types of art. They are excited to learn math skills, spelling, grammar, reading, vocabulary, and physical skills.

Second graders are the perfect age to foster a love of learning that should continue throughout their lives.

They live in view of the beautiful mountains and are active every minute of the day. Their favorite time is when we get together in our classroom for read aloud. They laugh and joke and support each other.

My Project

These supplies will help the students at my school be engaged in hands-on learning in science. When students are engaged in the activities, they learn and retain so much more. This project includes tools that will allow students to see and hear science principles in action.

Scientists are people who DO science, not just watch.

Another benefit to these supplies is that students will be able to complete their own experiments. Specifically they will be able to make their own electromagnet with the batteries, crack open their own geode, and check out air pressure with their own wind bag. Thank you for considering helping with our project.
