My Project

I teach three life sciences - High school Biology, Pre-AP Biology and Environmental Systems.

I love it when all levels can express their understanding through research, presenting their work with visuals and narrative.

The markers, glue sticks, pencil sharpener, and other classroom basics I have selected will provide my students the needed supplies and ways to display their creativity. Items like the paper storage baskets have also been selected to allow for an organized classroom and encourage students to maintain lifelong learning and journaling of their work.

Currently my students are utilizing remaining supplies from previous years students. These need to be replenished with items not currently funded by the department ... Every little bit helps.

In advance of your contribution - THANK YOU!
