Ms. McCann Overby - Sheppard Elementary School
Richmond, VA Grades PreK-2

I teach preschool in low-income public school setting in Virginia. Our school is set in a economically depressed area where our school is the safest place children visit each day!

My students are full of potential, but struggle with math concepts. It would be wonderful to allow the children an opportunity to practice math in the classroom in a hands-on manner to strengthen their learning.

The resources that we need are math manipulatives and materials that will allow us to work with patterns, counting, and graphing. The earlier that the children begin working with these concepts in an age-appropriate manner, the earlier they will excel with these concepts.

Your help will make it possible for my students to study math in a child-friendly way and become successful students in math for years to come!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
