Enchantment Under the Sea Learning Math in 3rd!

Help me give my students the coloring items and school supplies to enhance 3rd grade math at summer school! Kids will need folders that can be decorated with earned Ocean Stickers. Goldfish arrays are fun too! Then clean-up!

My Project

Summer school kicks off the day after Labor Day!

If my project is funded, my students will have fun learning the skills that they are currently struggling with.

Life is always better with snacks, and especially if they can be used as manipulatives to enhance learning! Kids don’t love fractions, but using stickers and crackers to make groups to compare will make learning fun!

New pencils, markers, and supplies always put a smile on their faces as well! It’s been a long year, but with fresh supplies, learning shouldn’t be so bad! I love this community, and only want the best for the future of the kids that live here!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
