Artful Expressions in Science

Help me give my students the supplies they need to express their creativity in science class!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Thomas's classroom raised $685

This project is fully funded

My Project

Each of these carefully chosen items will go directly to my students and allow them to share their creativity with me in the different projects and assignments we do in 7th grade science. Throughout the year, we complete various activities like: doodle notes to help us learn new material, color by numbers for application practice and checking for understanding, and different projects.

My students are also so incredibly talented and each time I get so excited to see what they will create!

I want them to be able to have all the things they need to be successful. These supplies in this project will help meet their needs by providing the materials in my classroom for them to use. Colored pencils are used quite often in my room for many of the different notes and activities we do. The posters and color paper supplies will help their learning come to life. I cannot wait to see where their creativity will take them!
