Hello Friends and Family!
As many of you know, I have been teaching 6th grade at Craig Williams since 1994. As the science teacher, I am trying to raise the funds to begin outfitting a Science Exploratorium in my classroom. My mission is to create an inquiry-based learning environment where students cultivate a wonder about the world they constantly observe, ask meaningful questions, and confidently go about the business of finding answers and testing those answers through experiments and activities.
The equipment and materials listed below will positively impact the science education of thousands of students that will spend hundreds of hours in a hands-on investigative approach to learning and doing science.
A hearty thank you in advance from me and my Wildcat scholars for any help that you can provide! Also, feel free to share this with anyone you know who has the means and desire to advance science education in our little corner of the universe.
With your help, as Buzz Lightyear would say, "To infinity and beyond!"
Following is a list of the equipment and supplies which your generous donations will provide:
1) 40x - 1000x Compound Microscopes 12 @ $84.98 + Tax = $1,098.79
2) 3 Assorted prepared slide sets + tax = $147.51
