The Marathon Continues!

Help me give my students school supplies to help get the school year started in my fifth grade science classroom, along with the cleaning supplies that will help keep the classroom areas clean and sanitary.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smith’s 5th Grade Science Classroom's classroom raised $843

This project is fully funded

My Project

If my project is fully funded, my students will have the necessary tools. Dry erase markers will be used during the instructional blocks with their MRS strategies such "Think-Pair-Share", that will enable them to work in collaborative groups with their peers.

Snacks provided will help supplement student hunger during long stretches of the school day, and provide motivational rewards and treats during the instructional block, as we all love a great reward!

It is important to keep our classroom clean, sanitary, safe and free of germs and illnesses.
