Keys To Math Success

My students need 20 calculators and one storage caddy.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Curtis's classroom raised $677

This project is fully funded

Do you remember all of your math facts? Sometimes they may be difficult to recall; my students with learning disabilities can attest to that. I am teaching in a Resource Room. Students come to me for support in Language Arts and/or Mathematics. In the Resource Room, I provide support for students in grades one through five.

Since my students come to the Resource Room on a daily basis, I do not have access to all of the supplies that the general education teachers have. It is imperative that I meet the needs of my students with disabilities.

My students and I are requesting a total of 20 calculators; ten for grades one and two, and ten for grades three through five. Calculators will help integrate technology in the classroom. The use of these wonderful calculators will provide a wealth of assistance to my students when faced with daily math challenges.

Your generous contribution will make it possible for all of my students to feel successful when it comes to math. They will develop a sense of pride and accomplishment that will follow them into their general education classroom, as well as their future.
