My Project
We want to capture the hearts and attention of our youngest learners by making Math FUN for everyone! We have the opportunity to teach so many new skills in our Pre-K classrooms every day. These materials will be used by over 60 students and will be shared with others for years to come!
Your support of this project will allow us to have colorful and engaging materials for hands-on math exploration.
Making learning exciting and fun will help us build lifelong learners! Thank you for supporting our mission of making learning FUN!
The math manipulatives, mailbox system, and pocket charts will be used to create math centers to be used during our daily small group rotations. The Teacher's Pay Teacher's Gift Card will allow us to purchase and print some take home math games to extend the learning we do in the classroom!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
