My Students
"Why are we here?" is what I always ask my third-grade students every day. They always answer with a resounding, "To do our best and learn something new!" as they enter my class with smiles on their tiny faces.
Our elementary school has a high number of students who are high-poverty, first-generation immigrants from Haiti.
Even though we have to cater to and adapt to such a diverse range of learning needs, we strongly believe that all children will learn if given the right tools and technology. As their third-grade teacher, my main objective is to enhance and improve their young learning experiences, especially when it pertains to their learning environment.
My Project
Please help me give hands-on Earth Science Solar System kits to each of my students. This will help bring our textbook to life and help motivate students to use their text, then apply what they learn to the science kit.
Each student needs their own Solar System kit to ensure that all students have an equal chance to have hands-on learning.
I am asking for a class set of 22 solar system kits so that each child will have a kit of his/her own.
Teaching while observing CDC social distancing guidelines has its challenges and this is why bringing learning to life is so important! This will help to make Earth Science come to life in their homes and at school, which would support the learning from their textbooks.
More than half of students from low‑income households
