My Project

I teach 5th grade Social Studies and Science to students who all qualify for free breakfast and lunch. They get so excited when I give out colored pencils and markers to use in class because they do not have theses materials at home. I love watching them get excited about their work. Colored pencils and markers help the students learn various social studies and science concepts so much better because when you illustrate something you really get to understand it. Using colored pencils and markers make learning so much more fun! Whether labeling places on a map or drawing various cells, food chains, life cycles, comparing and contrasting battles of the US Revolutionary War, the students are so much more animated and detailed when using these materials.

I asked for class packs because this will allow me to make containers filled with all of the supplies each child needs for each project, rather than just hoping that I have enough materials for each student to complete their projects.

Thank you for considering funding this project.
