My Project

This year was my first year teaching and I was unaware of how many low-income students encompassed my classroom. School supplies were a real struggle.

As a math teacher, the students take notes every day and never have pencils therefore I find myself constantly supplying pencils, etc all year.

I want to ensure that my students have everything they need this year for their note-taking, notebooks and to survive the school year.

I want to make sure my kids have the games and Manipulatives to properly visualize and understand what I am teaching.
