My Project

This project will provide basic items needed to help my students organize and complete their math curriculum-based activities in my low income and diverse learners' classrooms. My goal is to provide resources that will enhance daily learning, and keep students' work organized. Students feel more apt to engage when they have the proper materials in class. My students are excited about exploring new ideas and learning how to express their ideas through written and hands-on activities. My general education and diverse learners enjoy expressing what they have learned through extended responses and daily fluency activities. Your gift will make learning for them a more colorful and exciting experience!
