Organization Is The Key To Success!

Help me give my students an organized teacher with some cool new experiments! We need folders, bulletin board paper and more.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Biondo's classroom raised $440

My Students

My sixth, seventh and eighth grade classes love to be engaged in the mystery and excitement of hands-on activities. Each day, we learn, discuss, and discover parts of their world that they didn't look at as closely as they do in a science classroom. I encourage students to debate and question the world around them.

This year I have the pleasure of having brilliant young sixth, seventh and eighth-grade scientists.

They love to get their hands messy in science experiments. With every unit of study, their understanding of the world around them sparks engaging discussions and debates of science. Unfortunately, budgets are tight and lab activities and experiments that require ordered materials each year rarely get funded. Every year I am surprised by how weak my students'​ science vocabulary is. Learning vocabulary is not always enjoyable and I work hard to come up with new and exciting ways to present the material.

My Project

No child can learn when their teacher is unorganized! I am teaching new curriculum this year so that means I will have a lot of new materials! I need laminating sheets to keep those materials in tip top shape for future classes, and file folders to keep them organized in my file drawer.

I came across a cool new immune system lab, so we need glow germ to show how easy it is to transmit germs from one person to another and to other surfaces!

I am also in need of paper, pens, bulletin board paper and push pins so we can display all the amazing work my students will produce throughout the year.

Please help me get my year off to a great start!
