Learn, Grow, Blossom!

Help me give my students binders, chair tennis balls, binder clips, dry-erase boards, pencils, and other important supplies because the best way to increase my students' growth in their learning and make them stronger in multiple skill sets is by increasing interest in independent mathematical and scientific inquiry.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shelton's classroom raised $783

My Project

These supplies will be utilized daily by my scholars. The best way to increase my students' growth in their learning and make them stronger in multiple skill sets is to increase interest in independent mathematical and scientific inquiry, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with numbers and the world around them.

My scholars will also be able to take ownership of their learning by using interactive binders.

They will create notes by collaborating with peers using anchor charts and other manipulatives such as marker pens and cardstock paper.

I look forward to witnessing and motivating my students to grow and unlock new levels of learning every year.
