Help Brighten 6th Grade!

Help me give my students the joy of paper in a rainbow of colors!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lichtner's classroom raised $578

My Students

The students at my school are whip smart, resoundingly curious, and insanely creative. They are in love with the natural world and want to learn as much as they possibly can. As sixth graders, they are also working on learning classroom responsibility and maturity which are two traits I am working hard to foster and develop in them. They are kind, imaginative, and above all, ready and willing to learn. Their intense creativity never ceases to amaze me!

My Project

Learning about science can take a lot of paper! In my sixth grade class, we use an interactive binder to help us learn about earth science, including the formation of the universe, gravity and inertia, planets, the water cycle, layers of the atmosphere, and even more things! Keeping an interactive notebook organized can be difficult. We do readings and labs and projects and posters!! The paper in a variety of colors will make each assignment unique and easy to find, making studying even easier. Please help me brighten my students' assignments!
