Knowing Math = Success

Help me give my students the tools, such as expo markers for vertical spaces, pencils, math manipulatives, etc., that they need to be successful in their Math Classroom.

My Project

We need your help to continue to provide students with the basic tools they utilize within the classroom. Having their basic needs met within the classroom allows for our inquiry based instruction to thrive. Dry-erase markers help the students to work in vertical spaces rather than sitting at their desk, just listening to a lecture. They can move about the room and critically think and get their thoughts down, and this creates an atmosphere of collaboration. My co-teacher and I seek to reach our students who struggle in class, when we provide Hot Chocolate and Homework after school. Your donation, makes that a possibility. Our building is a very diverse group of students with high aspirations. However, our families struggle to provide all the necessary supplies, due to low-incomes in the socio-economic realm.
