My Project

Many of our students come to school without all the school supplies they need. By having these supplies accessible to them, they will be able to focus on completing their assignments with pride and will be prepared for their classes.

"I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand." By allowing our students hands-on learning with these foldable 3D shapes, they will better understand what is being taught in math and be able to commit it to their learning.

Having the Classroom Clock Kit and Money Kit will also allow us to practice these concepts together for better understanding. This type of practice makes learning more fun!
