My Project

Next year will be my tenth as a science educator. Watching my students grow and make real-life, relevant connections with the content is one of the joys of my life! As this school year winds down and I've started to clean up and organize my classroom, I've started taking inventory on the supplies that need to be replenished for the new school year.

The materials you see in this project are the ones that we use the most in my science classroom and those most in need of a re-stock.

We go through a TON of materials in a school year! We need pencils, markers, poster board, hot glur gun and more.

I love being able to start each school year with fresh supplies, and I try to supply my students with as much as I can, as to not over-burden families with back-to-school shopping. I never want lack of supplies to hinder a student from learning. Please consider helping me get my classroom ready for the new school year!
