Tools for Thinking: Note-Taking Supplies for Science Success

Help me give my students engaging materials to make note-taking well organized and more effective.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Leger's classroom raised $557

My Project

In my high school biology, forensics, and anatomy classes, students dive into complex concepts through hands-on labs and research-based learning. To truly grasp what they’re studying, they need to be able to process and organize information independently. This project will provide students with essential note-taking supplies such as notebooks, pens, highlighters, and sticky notes that help them turn research and class discussions into meaningful, personalized notes. These tools will strengthen their study habits, deepen their understanding of content, and prepare them for the expectations of college and careers where self-directed learning is key to success.
