Going Into Overdrive!

Help me give my students the tools they need to enhance their learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Penny's Classroom's classroom raised $302

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach students math & science subjects. I have a multicultural class, in a Title I city school. Many of my students are from a low economic background and live in poverty. Many of my students are NOT on a fifth grade level for math. My levels range from second to fourth grade levels. Special education students are mainstreamed in my classroom. Therefore, they learn math & science best through visual, tactile and kinesthetic learning styles to grasp concepts and applications in the scope and sequence requirements for our district.

My Project

As a 5th math grade teacher, I incorporate many tools and hands-on lessons to help them understand common core.

As we approach the halfway point , I am in great need to replenish our class supplies.

My students love the individual white boards, expo markers/erasers. We use these items daily to practice, review and check for understanding. We utilize highlighters, pencils and red pens for cooperative learning strategies, in addition to techniques for critiquing and editing.

I’m especially excited to request a liquid measuring kit to allow students gain a concrete understanding of capacity with hands-on activities that cover customary and metric units.

As we go into overdrive, and state testing approaches we need these supplies to prepare and be the best mathematicians we can be!
