My Project

Students at NDMS learn best through first-hand experiences and hands-on activities. When they are able to explore and create they make their best work. Through creation, they are able to learn. These school supplies will help my students grow and expand their knowledge of science in an engaging and exciting way! Supplying students with adequate supplies for learning will help them grow as students and people. It will also help harvest a passion for learning. The paint, markers, clay sticks, and other school supplies will help bring my lessons to the next level and help create visual hands-on activities where students can take control of their learning.
