My Project

I am a first year 8th grade math and science teacher trying to drum up some new supplies for my classroom. I am asking for class sets of headphones, rulers, graphing whiteboards, and calculators, which are all tools necessary to accessing and engaging with the curriculum content. These tools are essential for learning, as they are used by my students on a daily basis in both content areas. Students love these tools because it allows them to participate hands-on and practice skills in the essential standards. Thank you for supporting my project and making a different in my students' learning.
