My Project

In our biology classroom, scissors, glue sticks, and masking tape are essential tools we use every day to keep our labs and activities organized and engaging. Glue sticks help students securely attach pages into their science notebooks, creating a resource they can reference throughout the year. Masking tape, both colored and plain, is vital for labeling tubes, materials, and experiments during labs, ensuring everything stays organized and easy to follow. These supplies may seem simple, but they play a major role in keeping our classroom running smoothly.

Scissors, glue sticks, and masking tape are critical for keeping students organized and engaged in hands-on science learning.

Your support will help ensure that we have these essential supplies to complete daily labs and activities effectively. With your generosity, students can focus on building their science skills in an organized, well-equipped classroom that encourages exploration and discovery. Thank you for considering a donation to our project!
