My Students

"We Can't Wait to go to the Adler Planetarium!" My students are so excited about going to the Adler Planetarium to see "One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure" show, but we need some funding in order to do so. I want to see the students bright and smiling faces when they find out that we can go!

My students go to school on the Westside of Chicago.

They come from low-income homes that want the best for their children, but don't have the resources to assist in their education. They really help in every capacity that they can in order to make sure that their child is learning all that he or she can. Often the resources are unavailable to help in further developing their child's learning.

My Project

By obtaining getting the money needed to see the show allow the students to learn outside of the four walls in the classroom as well as get expose to areas outside of where they live. They will get an opportunity to see their first show at the Adler Planetarium, which will allow them to explore and learn all the wonderful adventures of space. They will be able to come back to the classroom with knowledge, which they couldn't have received by just listening from a book. The students would be able to have first hand knowledge from being able to explore and learn all the things in space by seeing and touching, as well as hearing. This will be an awesome experience for the students as well as allow them to gain valuable knowledge about space in such an explorative way.

By donating to this project you will be allowing the students to get a chance of a life time by going to see their first show.

My students don't have the opportunity to go visit the planetarium with their families due to lack of resources, but they should be given a chance at school to be able to go on a field trip. My students shouldn't be worried about if they to get to go see the show "One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure." but should just be able to go!
