My Project

My students attend a Title I school with students of various learning styles. I service grades k-4 and want all of my students to have access to differentiation that supports their success. Different learning styles and needs should be supported when it comes to teaching math. In addition to the manipulative math tools like write and wipe clocks, I am also requesting some prize box supplies that will help to motivate students to stay on task and earn rewards. The classroom supplies like markers and crayons will help enhance student learning by encouraging their creativity.

I plan to organize these supplies in crates to enable my students easily find what they need to explore various modalities and different interests.

Your donations will make learning come alive in our classroom and will tap into my students' individual interests.
