I have helped plenty of people along the journey. \r\nWe are currently working on writing, so pencils and paper are a plus.

While many of my students are familiar with technology at home, using these hands-on tools for collaborative scientific inquiry teaches them how to think, question, and experiment like real scientists.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for the kids has been getting to dive straight into the experiments themselves rather than just reading about them in a textbook. There is an incredible spark of curiosity in the room when they get to manipulate the materials and see cause-and-effect happen right before their eyes.\r\n\r\nI've seen a wonderful transformation in several of my students who typically struggle to stay engaged during traditional lessons. Watching them eagerly take the lead during our hands-on building and testing activities has been truly rewarding.

Starting my first year of teaching, I wanted to make the room welcoming for my students, but there were so many things to buy. Your support allowed me to create a space for learning that I could not have managed on my own.\r\n\r\nSome of the things I appreciate most are the simplest. The assignment trays keep homework from my different classes organized. The clear plastic envelopes go home with me filled with papers to grade, and I am thankful to have something that keeps everything together. The pencil holders keep colored pencils ready at each table for student work and the occasional coloring time they enjoy. These things get used over and over.\r\n\r\nThe bulletin-board supplies helped me create our Driving Question Board for our new OpenSciEd curriculum, and the adhesive letters helped me organize display areas on the whiteboards. We have just finished our collision forces unit and are moving on to sound waves, so these spaces will continue to be useful as our learning changes. I hope the photos give you a glimpse of the classroom you helped me create.
