My Project

This is my second year teaching seventh grade math, but it is not my first year in a classroom! Each of my students has their own personality and bring so much to the classroom. I work in an urban district where more than half of the students qualify for free or reduced price lunch. Many of my students can not afford their own school supplies, items that are necessary for their success.

Having appropriate supplies needed for every day use in the classroom will be a game changer!

The paper towels will be used in no time to help clean the supplies! With allergies at an all time high, we are constantly cleaning. The headphones will be used with all my classes to help with online programs and virtual videos to help support the lessons. The sheet protectors will be used for myself and the students. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will be used to help make lessons more interactive and engaging!
