My Project

After the start of the school year dwindles down and we get into the swing of things we really start seeing what materials the students and classroom are in dire need of. As a Science teacher, teaching two grades this year, I never realized how many paper towels we would go through in a day, let alone a week or month!

We are in need of paper towels (and holders), as well as supply trays, and vinyl (for labeling), to help keep us safe, clean up, and to keep our lab materials in one spot on the desks.

The paper towels are used to wipe up spills, and the lab trays will be used to organize hopefully prevent the messes from happening to begin with! We will use the vinyl to label the bins in a more permanent fashion.

There are a few other things that the classroom needs replacements of that have seen better days, such as supply bins for markers and crayons, as well as printer ink.
