My Project

Greetings, Donors Choose community! It's time for school to start back up again, and there are a few things we need in order to get a smooth start! This project will fund ink for our color printer, sustenance for our hungry kiddos, and research-based books about how to turn a Math Class into a Thinking Classroom.

Our color printer is out of ink, so we need some refills so that our young Entrepreneurs can print their designs and presentations in vivid color!

The project includes a few books to help math teachers *transform* their classrooms into thinking classrooms in which students can excel. Finally, this project includes light snacks that students desire. We'll use these to feed hungry bellies, encourage class participation, and reward successful students.

Thank you again, Donors Choose community, for always being there for us! You continue to prove, over and over again, that kids in the inner city can have the same success as kids in the suburbs.

With humility,

Mr. Bryant and students
