This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Petrin from Charlotte, NC is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Get it? Got it? Great!!!

My students need 3 packages of various math manipulatives.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Petrin's classroom raised $368

This project is fully funded

Get ready...get set....let's use our manipulatives!!! What's wrong??? I don't have any....HELP!!!

GET READY to learn about fractions today...I don't have the materials. GET SET to use your fractions manipulatives...I don't have any to hand out. GOT YOUR MATERIALS??? Wasn't this used ages ago? My scholars do not have any math manipulatives to utilize within the classroom. What little we do have is from a kit that is at least 10 years old. Everything my scholars utilize for hands-on is either bought personally or borrowed from other teachers. My scholars needs something to put their hands on.

My scholars need your help. They want to learn about fractions, place value, decimals, but they can't. They need something to put into their hands (manipulatives) to help them. They need decimal kits, fraction kits, and algebra kits. All of which I have been making by myself, or as part of a lesson. Help my scholars to find their intelligence and love for math through new math manipulatives.

I can't beg you to help me. I am asking for your help and generosity so that my scholars have the excitement to want to learn math. Without your help, their excitement, their empowerment, their will to learn is lost.
