My Project

I love how excited my students are to be at school. It's my job to help them stay excited! As students master their multiplication facts, they earn gumballs. Being able to have a gumball machine in class will help drive their determination to be the one to turn that knob and get that sweet gumball! The sharpeners will help save on my pencil sharpener and stop broken crayons from being thrown in the trash. Dry erase markers are used to help study and practice math facts on their dry erase boards. Thank you for taking the time to think of my students!
