Powering Up Learning: Interactive Tools for Math and Reading Mastery

Help me give my students access to materials they can use independently in math and reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McGibbon's classroom raised $681

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project brings a dynamic collection of interactive learning tools into our classroom, designed to boost student engagement and mastery in both math and reading. With Power Pen quiz cards, grab-and-play games, and comprehensive workbooks, students will benefit from hands-on, self-checking resources that make learning fun and effective. These materials target key third-grade skills such as fractions, division, place value, telling time, reading comprehension, and test preparation.

By incorporating these tools, I aim to support diverse learning styles, reinforce foundational concepts, and build student confidence through independent practice and immediate feedback.

Your support will help create a vibrant, interactive learning environment where every student can thrive.
