My Students

I am very enthusiastic about giving my students a rich and meaningful experience through the activities in our curriculum. My science students in the inclusion and self-contained classes are excited to learn about the world around them through hands-on experiences.

They will be mastering the scientific method through project-based learning and inquiry.

They need basic supplies-

ink to help them communicate their findings! They love exploring and delight in learning! Although they come from very diverse backgrounds, they all love learning about science!

My Project

These materials will make a difference in my students’ learning. Our class has been learning the scientific method through inquiry-based learning. We would like to be able to print out reports so that we can share our findings! The students would be able to display their work so that they can communicate to others what they have learned.

In addition to being able to communicate as scientists do, many of my students require differentiated font sizes.

The ink would help me to reach all of my students’ special needs. The ink is a much-needed supply for us that will improve their learning!
