Calculating Success!

My students need a class set of calculators and some math games to help them with basic math concepts.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gruver's classroom raised $279

This project is fully funded

My Students

Math is hard! Having math games is a great way for my students to have the chance to practice their math skills and not even realize they are learning! And having calculators for our standardized tests would make my students lives SO much less stressful!

My students are a great bunch of kids!

We live in a high poverty are in Illinois, and my kids face many challenges every day. They are a very bright group of students who are eager to learn. If given the opportunity, my students will definitely excel in all academic areas!

My Project

We are requesting a class set of calculators, which seems like a small and basic thing, however, for my students the cost of a calculator could mean going without a meal for a day. By providing the calculators for my students they won't have to worry about finding one on their own. The math games will be a fabulous addition to our classroom, allowing my students to have free time where they are having fun and learning at the same time!

The donations for these materials will mean so much for my students.

My students strive every day to succeed, but with the many roadblocks present by their living situations, they don't always get that chance. By donating to this project, you are removing those roadblocks and leading my students to success!
