My Project

I have recently taken over teaching Math for 4th, 5th and 6th grades in our small school. We have a real need in our school for new math manipulatives that can help our students learn and grasp some of the foundational concepts they will need for success in all their higher math and STEM learning. The whiteboards will allow students to show their knowledge and work problems individually and in teams.

I want to be the most effective teacher I can and that is hard to do without the proper tools.

Our budget is tight in a small public school and I would love to be able to provide the kind of learning aides that the bigger schools have.

I have grown to love these children so much since coming to this school. They are so bright and enthusiastic about learning. I want them to love school and learning as much as I love teaching them.
