Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 22

Our students were overjoyed when they received their lab coats for the Mad Scientist Club. With eagerness, they grab their coats and goggles and wait with anticipation for the experiment to begin. The air is electric with excitement as you can see from the provided photos. They enjoyed cracking open geocrystals which was a highlight of thier scientific adventure this year. They got to bring home the pieces and share with their families. We were also able to do some research to learn more about them. Students continued telling us new information as they conducted their own at home research. We also enjoyed a science book that has helped lead the way to inspiring experiments!

It has been an absolute joy to work in the Mad Scientist Club and we owe it all to you. Your donations have helped make this year a success and we are so grateful for all that you have provided. Thank you again and have a wonderful summer!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

My goal is to have each student feel part of a club by having their own "club shirt."

What will be done with my students

On specified days, we will be meeting with our Mad Scientist Club. These students come from impoverished homes and will wear their club shirt on club days. These club shirts will boost morale within the club while providing a "team spirit." They will wear the shirts while engaging in high interest science experiments.

Benefits to my students

Many kids do not get to join sports or after school clubs and the shirts will solidify them as part of a group. Students will be motivated and excited to carry on experiments while at home.

Budget Narrative

These shirts will benefit 17 students at Manatee Elementary School.
