Basic Supplies for Aspiring Scientists!

Help me give my students basic classroom supplies for science success! Many students come to me with no supplies. I want to make sure they are set up for success without the barrier of access to supplies.

My Project

Many students come to my classroom empty handed for a variety of reasons. I do not want the access to classroom materials to hold them back in any way! Basic supplies like notebooks, folders, colored pencils, pencils, scissors and glue sticks will not only help students feel ready, but aid in a major way to learning science! The activities and projects we are able to accomplishp with these simple and basic supplies are endless. The kids I teach can face many obstacles, having the right supplies is one I want to take away for them! Every child deserves to be set up for success!
