My Project

My students are much more willing to learn if they are set up for success at the beginning of the school day. I am asking for basic school supplies so that my students can begin each day ready to be successful! Please help me get the materials that they need so that I can teach them with open hearts and open minds. Math is the only universal language and I love to open young minds to its awesomeness. Please help me help my students become awesome mathletes! I love to share my math love with our future generations!
