My Project

I love that my students are so curious and innovative. They love doing labs and projects, so I'm trying to incorporate some new activities into my lessons. I would like to raise money to get a couple gift cards at Teachers Pay Teachers so I can buy some new labs and activities.

These new lessons from Teachers Pay Teachers are creative and allow me to incorporate more performance based tasks and authentic assessments into my curriculum.

I would love to have the chance to buy a few new ideas for my biology class.
