Math Amazement and Surprises!

Help me give my students small whiteboards, printer ink, and other supplies for a great education.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Curtin's classroom raised $985

My Project

The math manipulatives and games will make learning fun with some hands-on activities in my classroom. It will help them reinforce their math skills and learn to fill gaps created by the Covid-19 pandemic and the time students were online and unable to use manipulatives to help them learn. Students are really struggling from being online, and having some fun math games to help them get excited about learning will be amazing.

The whiteboards will be used in all subjects in my classroom and will allow students to show their work when completing problems and sharing with the class.

The whiteboards that I have now do not erase the marker and are peeling from the boards. They are not really usable anymore, and new ones will help my students express their learning in a more productive way.

The supplies are necessary to keep my classroom running smoothly and help students avoid worry about access to the supplies needed daily. I appreciate any help that you can give my classroom and my students to develop their learning during this hard time for staff, students, and families. This will help to increase academic achievement and improve students' spirits. Thank you.
