Stuff I can lend you:
Here's some equipment I can let you use. These may be my items, school items, or gifted science class items. I may be able to lend you the equipment or else supervise you using it in my room. Scroll down to see the complete list. (JMS teachers - this is for you too!)
(Please ask, even if you don't see it on the list.)
