Plant Science Supplies

Help me give my students basic supplies and a little extra to keep them on top of their game.

My Project

This project will help my students in various ways. The pencils are a basic supply that many kids are lacking on a daily basis. Being supplied in pencils ensures I can have students participate each day. The paint markers will be used by my Plant Science classes. They have a small garden they care for in black containers. The paint markers would allow students to personalize their containers. The notebooks would be used to help supply students that struggle to buy their own materials. The sectional organizers would be used to house late work in an organized way so that students can easily find what they are missing.
