My Project

Help me complete my classroom in my first year as an inner city teacher! I am looking to create an incentive system for my students to motivate them to learn, the snacks and sticker charts will help me do this!

I would love to utilize the materials in more enriching activities such as group projects and incorporating art in mathematics!

We need copy paper, a mesh cart, notebooks and laminating sheets. A little bit about my school, we have a large population of students from Kensington and 40% special education. Our circumstances make us stronger, I believe these supplies will support our growth!
