My Project

I will use the requested materials to help my students calculate everyday math problems. The requested materials will provide my students with the necessary materials to be successful in school.

Pencils and a pencil sharpener will be used to work out problems.

Chromebook chargers will allow them to use technology daily. Calculators will assist my students in solving difficult problems. Calculator storage will help keep the classroom neat and organized and create a positive learning environment.

A three-hole punch will assist the students in keeping their math notebooks organized, and it will also help me keep my folder organized. White board erasers will be used when my students use the 360 whiteboards in the classroom to solve problems.

My goal for this project is to ensure that all students are able to learn and always have everything they need. My students are special because they come to school every day willing to learn. They try their best even when the task is hard. My classroom is filled with students who can persevere.
