My Project

These school supplies will enhance my science classroom, which I strive to create a positive learning environment. My science classroom is organized so that everything has its place. The storage chart will help me keep the room organized. The chart will help students visualize scientific concepts. The thumb drives will help students save their work and print it in school or at home. Oftentimes, the class can get excited during the learning, so the microphone with speaker and presentation remote will help students stay on task. With your support, my students can excel in the world of science.
