I teach Earth Science to 159 9th graders in addition to several students that are in 10th, 11th and 12th grade. We are in a high-need community, short of most supplies as well as classrooms. It is important that my kids know they are important enough to have reliable equipment to learn with. Most of my kids come from broken homes, or homes where drug and alcohol abuse is common. In one of my classes I have 12 special needs kids that need hands-on activities to stimulate learning.
