My Project

I would use these manipulative and books to teach my students science. The school I work at doesn’t have a science curriculum and my students need hands on learning. These are expensive for a single teacher to buy alone but the funding would help me to make science more fun and engaging. The majority of my class has ADHD and need the movement in the classroom. This would make it where my students are saying science is more fun. It will be a way to help me find resources to help teach the standards in a fun and engaging way.

Mrs. Letsom will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by June 23.
