Spectacular Science Essentials!

Help me give my students the opportunity to explore the science world. My list is full of supplies that are vital for everyday instruction, and items for students who may not have the money for school supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Faulkner's classroom raised $735

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal is to give students the chance to dive into the world of science and just how much it affects the world around us. I strive to create hands on classroom experience that allows students to interact with the material rather than just memorizing. My students come from lower income families who may not have the ability to experience the world as we all should have the chance to.

The supplies that are in my list will make my classroom function in a way that is collaborative and engaging.

Students will be able to work together to solve problems and investigate the world around them.

My students work every day to defy odds and break the stereotypes that surround them. Almost 70% of my students are minorities or come from an immigrant family. Every odd is stacked against them, but they continue to work to show that they are exceptionally talented and intelligent! They truly are the best!
