I am the primary science instructor for every student at my school (grades 1-6). My goal is to actively engage my students in learning science concepts. I teach beyond the book. I would like them to take on the roles of scientists, engineers, architects, change-makers to investigate and figure out real-world phenomenon. In the absence of any district-provided science textbooks and curriculum, I have created web-based resources to meet the needs of my students. This has taken an immense amount of personal effort and is rendered even more difficult when it has to be done on old, slow district-provided computers.
To make distance-teaching more effective, I would like to create video lessons, edit assignments, make online science lab experiences, and bring in guest speakers, and all of this will only be possible with access to a new laptop. My students deserve a high-quality education from their homes. Help me give them that!
Please help me continue my passion for teaching science to young minds in this difficult time. Wonderful, hands-on, experiential learning is possible even when we are socially distancing, and I know how to provide it. Help me get there.
My students, and the school community, are grateful for your support. Your investment is an investment into the leaders of our future.
