My Students
I teach science in a school in Brooklyn with a 59% poverty rate.
I work with 230 pre-k, kindergarten and first grade students.
They are full of questions, love to experiment, observe, and learn more about the world through science. They are wonderful young scientists in the making, who need more tools with which to learn.
My Project
Because I believe that the best way for students to learn is to observe, experiment, and pose questions, I want to get materials such as a rock and mineral collection, a parts of a plants set and new magnifying glasses, so each student has materials and tools to practice observing and investigating.
Having materials for hands-on projects is important in order to teach children how to observe, interpret, and analyze data, make decisions, and infer by drawing conclusions.
These are essential skills that I want my students to develop in my class. By donating these materials to my classroom, you are helping me foster my students' love for inquiry and science students.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
