My Project

As a teacher that works with students who have deficits in grade level reading and writing, having a regular supply of markers and colored pencils supplements and enhances text heavy tasks. Drawing and analyzing scientific models like food webs or patterns relating to the periodic table are key to helping to meet grade level science expectations. The National Science Standards emphasize creating and critiquing models. Models can be physical but more often than not they are scientific diagrams showing change or process in scientific systems. These supplies will go directly to these purposes.
