This teacher needs your help!

Mr. Bondy from Saint Louis, MO is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

The Collaboratory

Help me give my students a maker's space to design, create, and build projects that will support our learning. These items will foster student creativity and invention as we take on learning without dependence on technology.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bondy's classroom raised $1,037

My Project

My students will love using the items in our "Collaboratory" to design and build projects to go along with their regular daily and weekly lessons. This project will help provide materials to students without the limits of a standard supply list from the district, or families providing materials for projects.

I started project-based learning about 10 years ago and I have found that students retain more information when they are building and testing and remaking their work, than they do studying information for a test.

When students visit me after graduation, they may not remember every detail of a subject or a lesson, but they do remember the projects they created in our classroom. The Collaboratory will help our students prepare for an increasingly challenging world, without relying solely on technology.
