My Project

Please help the science classrooms start the new year off on the right track with all the basic supplies we use daily like pencils, erasers, Kleenex (always a major need), calculators, laminating sheets, expo makers, and so much more. We use most of the supplies for our 5E stations; wherein, we learn through reading, writing, exploring, illustrating, watching, organizing, challenges, escape rooms, and labs. Having all the supplies we need will help us concentrate on learning in a fun way with few distractions. Thank you for your consideration and for helping support our science squad.
