No Nonsense Algebra Books and Needed Supplies

Help me give my students No Nonsense Algebra books, colored pencils, and a colored pencil sharpener.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Swaim's classroom raised $201

This project is fully funded

My Project

My project includes two No Nonsense Algebra books to help me teach my students in Algebra. Sometimes they are not able to complete their assignments on a computer so I have to give them paper assignments. These books will help me give them additional support. I have also included colored pencils for our projects and a special electric pencil sharpener for them. These pencils will help combine art and math classes.

I love my students and want to help them find Algebra fun and easy.

These supplies will help them with this task. Remember how you felt in math class? Your donation will help them have fun and enjoy math class while learning.
