Starting the Semester Right

Help me give my students a conducive classroom environment where they can have access to basic school supplies to support their learning.

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students will make our Biology classroom a "home" where they can access the things they need to support their growth and learning. These materials will be placed in our supplies corner where it is readily available. Pencils, markers, tape, and glue are everyday staples in our classroom for our hands-on learning. My students love treats so I also requested some Pop Tarts for them. This will boost their energies and support them when they feel hungry.

The donations to this project will help kick off the semester and improve my students' engagement through hands-on learning.

I truly need your support to make this a reality. Thank you so much!
