FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruiz's classroom raised $495

My Project

I am asking for a class set of books about animal adaptations, so my students can build their knowledge of Science concepts while practicing critical ELA skills. We also need picture books, so I can introduce math concepts in a more engaging way.

Most importantly, we need consumable items like Expo markers, sticker dots, and laminating pouches for skill practice and meta-cognition.

We have been sharing and showing our thinking on vertical surfaces as a way to understand and add on to our own math thinking. It is important that each student has their own expo marker color for accountability and to represent their thinking.
