Environmental Stewardship Supplies Steer Studious Students

Help me give my students materials to use for our Environmental Fair, schoolyard habitat, classroom aquariums, and organizational items for our classroom. We need a wheelbarrow and storage boxes, as well as pens and paper.

My Project

My classroom is a busy and engaging place to learn. Students are exposed to a variety of hands-on lessons and have many opportunities to engage with the environment.

Students thrive on being involved in activities that promote active learning.

We are in need of a wheelbarrow cart for a variety of activities in our school yard habitat such as spreading mulch, carting plants, and moving debris. Students will be creating backboards for our annual Environmental Fair and will make good use out of cardstock, pens, and markers. Storage containers will help organize all of our supplies so students can access them more easily.

By allowing students to be an active part of their learning, it ensures students will be more excited about learning and it promotes a positive attitude towards school and our community.
