Help me give my students the opportunity to engage in hands on experiments that I will first model for the class. Students will then get to challenge themselves by creating hypotheses and use critical thinking to complete experiments.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Guertin or Mrs. G's classroom raised $2,938

My Project
Some reason I love my students is for their boundless curiosity, unique perspectives, and the excitement they bring to learning every day. They inspire me with their questions and their willingness to take on challenges.
Each resource I choose for my classroom is carefully selected to meet their diverse learning needs.
Hands-on tools foster creativity and critical thinking, while technology resources open doors to new ideas and interactive learning experiences. Books and visuals help them connect concepts to real-world applications, ensuring every student finds a way to engage and thrive. Every resource is a step toward empowering them to reach their full potential.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
