Science Success

Help me give my students the tools they need for science success in second grade

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Meck's classroom raised $226

My Project

I am seeking funding to purchase essential supplies for our science lessons, including a foldable whiteboard, dry-erase pockets, and additional materials. Your contribution can make a significant difference in our students' learning experience.

My students are hands-on learners and deserve to participate in hands-on experiments during science.

A foldable whiteboard is a versatile teaching tool that allows me to engage students in interactive lessons. I can easily explain complex scientific concepts, draw diagrams, and conduct experiments in real-time with a foldable whiteboard. This dynamic visual aid makes learning more engaging and helps students better understand and retain the material.

Dry-erase pockets are essential for a sustainable and interactive learning environment. These pockets will enable us to repeatedly use worksheets, quizzes, and other educational materials, reducing our paper waste. Moreover, they encourage active participation as students can easily write and erase their answers, collaborate with peers, and engage in group activities.
