I teach all subjects to students with learning differences. My students are particularly interested in the life sciences. Students range from the 2nd through 5th grade. Our school is within an urban at-risk community that faces many economic restrictions.
Science supplies that support a thorough understanding of the food chain are extremely limited. My students enjoy learning through hands-on experiences that increase their understanding of scientific concepts.
We will need owl pellets, tweezers, goggles, and bone charts in order to dissect and directly observe the effects of owl's food chain. Students will be able to increase their state test scores as a result of comprehending the digestive process of small animals by the owl.
Your donation will make it possible for my students to meet the challenges of standardized testing mandated by No Child Left Behind. My students will also gain the opportunity to study the digestive process and the owl's food chain. This experience could not be observed in a natural environment.
Nearly all 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
