First Graders Need Math Materials!

Help me give my students magnetic coins, dry erase markers, black socks to use as erasers, and sheet protectors.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melissa's classroom raised $228

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need more math materials. I would love to build their financial literacy by using magnetic coins during our daily calendar time. We can use a coin amount that corresponds to the calendar date. We also need materials for take home math kits. My students need sheet protectors for take home math games, dry erase markers, and black socks. The black socks will be used as erasers to erase dry erase markers off the sheet protectors.

Your donation will help my students strengthen their math and financial literacy skills.
