FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Pedretti's classroom raised $320
This project is fully funded
My Project
Hi, my name is Louis Pedretti and I am fortunate to teach New York City children for the past 25 years through the Department of Education. My school is a Title 1 school, meaning that 90% of my students qualify for free lunch.
My students would benefit from having these classroom Expo Markers to complete group work through Book Clubs and working with their Math Wipe Boards.
My students also use the markers to write on erasable sentence strips to practice Math Routines daily.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
