My Project

We are in need of a variety of colored yarn for various basic classroom projects, an earthquake simulator vibrating machine, and classroom basic ink cartridges.

We have so many students - 678 to be exact - come through our classroom each day and each week.

We use a wide variety of basic supplies, and use it in large amounts.

We are running low on our yarn and need a variety of colors. We use yarn for constructing boats, making zip lines, and even robot tethers. We also are running low on our classroom printer ink, and utilize this to print vibrant color copies for project displays in our classroom. FInally, we are in need of an earthquake simulator vibrating machine. We build and construct of variety of structures and emphasize and focus on how those structures are built. In order to test our strength and building skills, we need a vibrating machine to put our structures on top of to determine their construction strength.
