My Project

My students are great thinkers and love to learn. We are a Title I school that do not have a lot of extra money or resources. I strive for my classroom to be one filled with learning. I try to plan a lot of lessons that are out of the box in other words different from just pencil and paper. I use stations and games to reinforce the skills taught. I want to give my students the manipulatives they need to be masters in math when they leave me and go to the next grade level.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
