More Than Just Paper

Help me give my students the supplies needed to go the extra mile and use tools to be successful!

My Project

This project is looking to raise the funds to bring extra paper and poster supplies into the classroom! I have identified several students struggling to engage with more complex math tasks, and I think providing students extra resources - reference charts, scaffolds, and more! - is one of the best ways I can support them.

These supplies will eliminate barriers to creating individualized Instruction for students!

From colored paper for making reference sheets to flexible whiteboards that will allow students to engage with brainstorming, these supplies are designed to give each individual student what they need to be successful.
