A Deserving Chance

Help me give my students a great start to a successful school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. R. COLLINS's classroom raised $784

My Project

The place value disk will be used to assist scholars who are Kinesthetic Learners with the need of having to touch manipulatives to have a concrete understanding. The dry erase circle dots will aid me to check for understanding and address misconceptions quickly when using our dry erase boards and not having to use notebook paper. The multiplication swat games will assist my shy scholars, who normally wouldn't raise their hand to respond to questions, to have fun in math and have confidence to do so. The classroom journals will help me establish organization among multiple math classes. At the present time I don't have enough for several math/science math classes . The colored code journals will assist me, as an instructor to stay organized with my color groups (red, blue, yellow, and green). When scholars are absent or having make-up work, this will be a easy and convenient way for scholars to take ownership of their assignments. Also, a high quality pencils and pencil bags will allow my scholars to work without having to constantly ask for a replacement pencils and they will have storage to keep their own.
