My Project

I am a sixth grade math teacher at a local charter school. We have had one of the toughest years with one of the highest teacher turnover rates and budgetary constraints. I think it's time that my students get the celebration they deserve. I often pay for the snacks on my own and try to provide a fun party as possible. However, this summer, I am pursuing my master's in mathematics and need all the extra cash to go towards my tuition.

I prioritize student success and celebrating their accomplishments.

Please help me in providing the resources for students to have an awesome end of the year.

Ms. Matthews
Grades 6-8
