Hooray! This project is fully funded

Creativity is very important in any subject, but it can help bring Science and Social Studies to life. As the fifth grade Science and Social Studies teacher at my school, I want to get the students involved in these subjects in a hands-on way. Instead of just looking at maps, I want them to create maps. Instead of just reading about the solar system, I want them to create their own solar systems. In order to accomplish this, I need materials for the students to get creative, such as colored pencils, markers, crayons, scissors and glue. These materials will be used throughout the year for a wide variety of projects by my three fifth grade classes. KIPP Bayview Academy, where I teach, is a public charter school. We are a college prep middle school in our second year and will be adding a new grade beginning in July. It is my wish that all three fifth grade classes could use these wonderful supplies by the beginning of summer school, so I am requesting enough materials for three class sets. Thank you!
