Math Excellence in a Healthy Environment!

Help me give my students binders to keep organized, erasers for when they make mistakes, cleaning supplies to ensure they do their best to stay healthy, and candy for prizes when playing games!

My Project

I always find my kids stay engaged and on task any time I give them a whiteboard or marker, and create some kind of competition among teams (plus it gets them away from a screen)! Motivation can sometimes be really difficult for middle schoolers but incentives like candy, especially as prizes for review and games can be the small piece of motivation they need to stay focused!

Organization is an important part of success and learning how to at an earlier age will help them in the future.

I try to maintain a clean and healthy environment which is why I am asking for a number of cleaning supplies, especially after the pandemic. My students work really hard, even when math is not their favorite subject. I've taught for 15 years and love what I do, even during the rocky times! Thank you for your donation!!
