My Project

Hello!! My name is Laura Jeanne Reilly, Ms. Reilly to my students! I am an elementary school science teacher in Brooklyn, NY and I am in need of some supplies! I ask you look over my list of modest, yet necessary items for my classroom. There are K’Nex for my non verbal students who struggle with traditional learning, a much needed microwave for my experiments that require hot water and melted items and owl pellets for my third graders who will be learning about interdependence amongst species.

I work at an elementary school in an underserved community and I am desperate to prepare my scholars for success!

Thanks so much for taking the time to review my requests! I look forward to experimenting with my classes!
