STEM Learning in the Classroom with a Vivarium Tank

Help me give my students Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) learning experiences in our classroom with a large vivarium tank.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sloan's classroom raised $556

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students come to school to learn, build connections, and be happy. They are kind, safe, productive, and focused on their future. When students in my classroom are empowered with the tools to thrive, they succeed academically.

Providing a large vivarium tank will foster an interest in STEM activities, create a sense of responsibility in caring for creatures, bring pure joy, and support a love of hands-on learning.

Your donation will ensure my students will have a vivarium tank needed to experience hands-on STEM learning and be scientists in our 5th grade classroom!
