Saving the World Can Start in the Science Classroom

The Description

With these funds I will...TRY TO CHANGE THE WORLD!!!!  Ok, it may have to start with baby steps but I believe my students can end up changing the world nonetheless.  I intend to purchase a class set of Chelsea Clinton's new book, It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired, and Get Going!  Ms. Clinton wrote this book to help young readers (ages 10-14) realize that everyone can do something to help the world we live in.  Everyone can make a difference.  My students are very empathetic to the woes of our planet... from social injustices to environmental atrocities.  I feel that my students will greatly benefit from taking a little bit of time from our science lessons once in a while to read about these topics and get ideas of how THEY can help.

I would like to purchase 25 copies of the book as I have had up to 25 students in my class at any one time.  As of today, the cost is $10.44/book.  

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase...as many copies of the book as I can with the funds I do raise.  Any additional monies raised will go towards classroom supplies like colored pencils and construction paper.  Students do a lot of illustrating in their science notebooks and you can never have too many sets of colored pencils.

About the Creator

Hi! I am a third-year 6th grade science teacher in Dumont, NJ. As a single-mom of three, I went back to school for education because I knew that there was more to life than increasing corporate profits. Becoming an educator was one of the best decisions of my life. I spend every day thinking about how I can inspire my students and guide them to be great citizens and leaders.
