My Project

Whiteboard markers, whiteboards, and reading and math manipulatives are valuable classroom tools that support my students’ learning by making lessons interactive, hands-on, and engaging. Whiteboards allow students to practice skills, share their thinking, and receive immediate feedback, while markers and erasers encourage them to take risks and learn from mistakes. Reading manipulatives help strengthen literacy skills, and math manipulatives allow students to explore concepts through hands-on activities and develop deeper understanding.

My goal for this project is to provide my students with the resources they need to become confident, independent, and successful learners.

My students are special because they are curious, creative, and eager to learn in different ways. These materials will help create a supportive classroom environment where every student can participate, collaborate, and grow academically.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
