My Project

My students are budding scientists who thrive on exploration, creativity, and hands-on learning. In our science classroom, we not only read about scientific concepts, but also build our understanding through investigation and discovery. The materials I'm requesting will help lay a strong foundation for meaningful learning all year long.

These may seem like simple supplies, but in a science classroom, they become the tools of real-world exploration.

Lined paper, pencils, folders, rulers, index cards, pencil boxes, and sharpeners will be used to promote writing, note-taking, and organization as we engage in labs and investigations. Chart paper and poster paper will allow students to collaborate on group projects and make learning visible on our classroom walls. Printer paper will help me to prepare handouts, graphic organizers, and other tools to support all types of learners.

Each item has a purpose and will help our classroom run smoothly and efficiently. With your support, my students will be able to focus on learning, think critically, stay organized, and confidently pursue their curiosity as young scientists!
