Help me give my students the basic supplies to succeed in my Physics classroom

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Burt's classroom raised $263

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In physics class, my students are given opportunities to get hands-on as they learn physics. They are creative, inventive and important. My students need to be prepared every day in my Physics Class. This means they need to have pencils, graph paper, and other writing tools in order to participate from the start of class. The colored masking tape allows me to set up engaging activities that get the students up and moving in class! I need a tape dispenser and tape for projects and to hang items quickly.

The cleaning wipes and tissues will help keep our classroom clean and healthy, keeping students in the classroom more.

The beginning of the year always brings new germs and I want my students to avoid illness as we get to know each other and build classroom relationships.

My students deserve to start the year with basic supplies so that I can focus on bringing them high quality, engaging lessons in physics class. Thank you for your support and consideration!
