Ms. Chaverri from Holyoke MA is requesting materials related to food, clothing & hygiene through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Let's Do Science Like Scientists Do!

Help me give my students the basic materials that kids need to equitable access science. We need basic supplies such as pencil sharpener and bright-colored paper, to science specific items such as graduated cylinders.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are inquisitive, they love to collaborate and share their critical thinking, but it is difficult when group size is determined by how many scales or calibrated cylinders I have. The materials like batteries and beakers I am requesting will be used for the chemistry and physics units so that they can work in small groups instead of observe teacher demos.

I can make my students learning so much more engaging if I can supply them with the basic materials they need to work like scientists do.

Please help me close the gap a tiny bit and get one step closer to having equitable access to high quality science instruction for my curious 6th graders!

Ms. Chaverri
Grades 6-8
