Ink and Expo Markers on Point

Help me give my students markers for whiteboard discussions, a podium for students to stand behind and speak, and other basic supplies needed for our lab class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cotton's classroom raised $595

This project is fully funded

My Project

Dry-erase markers for the whiteboard as well as individual group size whiteboards will be used to challenge each other during discussions. The whiteboard cleaner will be used to clean all the boards. Since this is a science/lab class the alcohol prep, wipes, and bandages will always be of use.

The toners for our classroom printer will allow us to print from our classroom printer.

The podium (rolling computer cart) will be used to stand student laptops, textbooks, notes, etc. on as we maneuver through the class in discussion. The rolling chair would be used to go from one lab station to another with ease, giving the student team leader more leverage to view peer's slides on microscopes. When there is a need to store any lab projects in the refrigerator, we want to make sure it is secured with a lock and key.

What makes my students special is they show up for class, ready to learn.
