My Project

A gift card from TPT would be great for me to purchase math and science resources for my students. There are many fun and engaging activities that can be found on TPT and the best ones, most times come at a cost. Funding this will assist greatly in getting these activities that we can use daily to them.

My students are transitioning into their first 'big kids grade' also known as their first EOG grade.

A binder shelf would be a simple but meaningful way to improve our classroom. It would help students stay organized, save time during transition, reduce clutter and create a hassle-free, more productive learning environment.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
