My Project

These supplies are going to help my students have a successful start to the school year. A class-set of calculators would ensure that each student has the tools they need for math class each day. The lights give a calm vibe to the room, and the students always enjoy them. Other materials like post-it notes and glue will help ensure we have supplies for our day-to-day lessons and activities. I want my students to start their school year equipped with everything they need to set the tone for a positive year in 7th grade.

New supplies will help my students start the year positively and happily!

They will be so thrilled to have their own calculator and have enough glue/coloring supplies for notes and activities. I want my students to be able to thrive in math this coming year, and having the tools they need will help them to do just that.

Grades 6-8
