Back to the Basics--to Achieve Excellence!

Help me give my students the basics to learn about S.T.E.A.M. They need basic supplies necessary to learn & be successful in their learning. Pencils, glue sticks, post-it easel boards, and the all-important science & engineering notebook.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. C's classroom raised $1,215

My Project

My students need the basics to learn all about S.T.E.A.M. I truly love and respect my students. They come to us with so many gifts from their wonderful genius brains and incredible hearts. I truly believe that the S.T.E.A.M careers will be the great equalizer for my students, giving them a more equitable opportunity to succeed and SURPASS their dreams!

We need pencils to write with, glue sticks to glue engineering and science labs and projects in their science/engineering notebooks.

We also need post-it easel boards to collaborate and share ideas, then have a gallery walk to socialize their learning amongst everyone in their class. Last, but not least, we need the all-important science and engineering notebook, in a composition style, so that the pages won't keep tearing out. They will provide regular size paper so that they can glue in their lab worksheets easily and without frustration.
