Growing Readers and Mathematicians

Help me give my students the tools to grow as mathematicians and readers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Owusu's classroom raised $487

This project is fully funded

My Project

My scholars come from low income homes. Basic school supplies are not donated from parents. During the winter tissue is a neccesity. My students are growing as mathematicians and readers. They are performing behind grade level. Too encourage them and help them grow I have added rewards to motivate them to do their best.

My students work hard to be prepared for the EOG.

The materials will help better prepare and support them in specific skills that they need more practice in. My goal is to help my students do the best the can in class daily and on the EOG so they can do well in fourth grade.
