Ms. Thomas Granby Elementary School
Norfolk, VA Grades PreK-2

Our inner-city school offers a safe haven to children, and an accepting environment for learning. Second grade students love school and want to learn. Our students are no exception. We have a wonderful class of 7 and 8 year old students who are eager to learn. Won't you help them to succeed?

Some students catch on to math quickly. Others struggle and need lots of extra help. They may not have anyone at home who can help them. As a teacher, I want to give them extra help. But what do you do with the students who have finished their work while you work one-on-one or in small groups with the strugglers?

Math games are the solution! A variety of individual and small group math games keep students who have finished early busy learning and reinforcing skills they have already learned. It also gives the teacher the chance to meet with small groups who need extra help in order to succeed. This way no student is left behind. Your donation will provide Story Problem Flip Books, Probability Spinners, Take It to Your Desk Problem Solving Cases, and two Instant Math Games Libraries.

This is your chance to make a difference in the life and education of a child. Your generous donation will provide games that will keep students actively engaged in math, while providing the teacher with an opportunity to meet with struggling learners to help them catch up. Your support will make sure that no child is left behind in math. These children are our future. Can we really afford to let them fail? Of course not! You can be part of the solution. Won't you please help fund our request?
