Organization is Key #6

Help me give my students composition notebooks so they can demonstrate their math brilliance.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Stimpson's classroom raised $624

My Project

My students are kind, compassionate, understanding, resilient and work to produce their best work- I'm grateful to be their teacher! The composition notebooks will provide my students with a canvas to demonstrate their mathematical brilliance.

The proverb "Everything in its place and a place for everything" will be brought to life in our classroom with these composition notebooks.

I'm in my second year at Wooster Middle School and I intend to have the student experience be uniform in a number of areas. One of which is each student will have a math notebook and use it to problem solve. I'll give them feedback on their approach, use student work as a model for other students, and use at a resource to include their grown-ups on their progress while in class.

Thanks in advance for your support.
