Start Science Class Right, With the Supplies We Need!

Help me give my students the supplies they need to start on the same common/equal ground - with a notebook and basic supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kielma's classroom raised $373

My Project

In an urban school district with a variety of backgrounds, not all students are able to be as prepared for school as others. It is vital for all of my scientists to begin the year at the same starting point. I do not feel that any students should feel guilty that they do not have the same supplies as others who may have more advantages.

This project will allow all of my scholars to begin their year confidently, trusting that their teacher and their new school has everything they need to help them succeed in science class.

Each of my students will start the year with a science ntoebook, pencil, and a glue stick. We will also have a classroom set of colored pencils with a new pencil sharpener, and highlighters to make our learning colorful, bright, and memorable!
