My Project
I teach third grade at a Title 1 school where all my students receive free lunch. Many of my students come from families who cannot afford to buy their school supplies, making it essential for me to provide them with the tools they need to succeed.
My students are eager learners who benefit from hands-on activities and interactive learning experiences.
I am requesting educational games that focus on math and critical thinking to help reinforce essential skills in an engaging way. These games will be used during math centers, indoor recess on rainy days, and small-group learning activities. Having access to these resources will make learning fun and collaborative, allowing my students to build confidence in their math abilities while developing problem-solving skills.
Your support will ensure that my students have the resources they need to deepen their understanding of math concepts and foster a love for learning. Thank you for considering our classroom and making a difference in the lives of young learners!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
