My Project

My 7th grade math students are hardworking, curious, and eager to learn. Every day they solve challenging problems, work together, and build confidence in their mathematical thinking. Having the right classroom supplies helps ensure every student is prepared to participate and succeed.

This project will provide the everyday materials our classroom relies on.

Notebooks will give students a place to work through problems and organize their learning. Cardstock, glue sticks, Expo markers, and a hole punch will help us create interactive math activities, anchor charts, and organized classroom resources that students can use throughout the year. Snacks will help students stay focused during class, and a water filter will provide easy access to clean drinking water so they can stay hydrated and ready to learn.

These essential supplies will create a welcoming, well-equipped classroom where students can focus on learning math, collaborating with classmates, and reaching their full potential.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
