Science Lab Portfolio Fun!

Help me give my students folders and portfolios supplies for their science lab folders.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. DiChiara's classroom raised $199

My Project

As school work requirements are ever changing, so are the materials students need. Recently I was told my students need to keep science portfolios to travel with them from sixth to eighth grade. They will need to keep their state required labs inside in a safe space for THREE YEARS! Since it is already January, I am having difficulty having students bring in folders to use for this purpose.

So, I’m asking for some folders and additional materials to help the students keep their science labs safe.

I already have two other sets of colors, so I am only asking for folders to go with the other two classes. Each class is organized by color. The additional post its and glue sticks are the other materials needed to put together their portfolios this year.
