Teaching science is my passion and I love providing my students with opportunities to explore and investigate topics in physics and biology. That being said, science even more so than many other subjects requires a lot of materials! From running labs and other experiments, creating and maintaining science notebooks, and doing artistic projects to share learning, there are a lot of needs. \r\nWith your donation, I was able to provide basic supplies such as glue sticks and snacks to meet the everyday needs of my students. I was also able to purchase art supplies such as model magic clay, so that students could demonstrate their science learning through creative and artistic means. This led to some pretty extraordinary student projects! \r\nI am so appreciative to donors like you because you help me take care of the fundamental needs of my classroom so that I can focus my time and energy on creating and delivering engaging lessons for my students.

These whiteboards and markers have allowed students to feel more comfortable in trying out new things, because it feels lower stakes to erase on a whiteboard rather than erase a paper. Students are also more likely to work together, I've found, and write on each others' whiteboards. This has helped to not only grow their confidence, but also their ability to collaborate and communicate their thinking.\r\n\r\nThe bandaids have also been very helpful, allowing for students to manage their scrapes and cuts inside the classroom rather than going to the school nurse, who is unfortunately not consistently on campus.","fullyFundedDate":1754320607227,"projectUrl":"project/picture-this/9448823/","projectTitle":"Picture This!","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.
