My Project

I am requesting a class set of highlighters, pencils and a sturdy class pencil sharpener which will be used to enhance a print rich colorful

classroom.

My students will be able to create and print notes, images, lab notes, and used them in their science journals.

The highlighters, pencils, and sharpener will be used to capture and identify species found indoor and outdoor in our environments or to make history come alive by sharing the sights and sounds of the city that we live in.

With the use if the pencils, highlighters, and pencil sharpener, my students can create activities that take academic concepts from theoretical to practical. It can leveraged to create interactive visual aides for use in he classroom, which helps teachers communicate complex concepts to students.
