Practice 'Til We're Perfect

Help me give my students workbooks for the opportunity to practice math and reading skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kerestes's classroom raised $172

My Students

Traveling back and forth between schools can be challenging. I have two classrooms at both schools to support my students. Both schools are within five minutes of each other. This opportunity allows me to work with twice the number of students.

My third and second graders enjoy hands-on activities, as well as getting the opportunity to be creative and explore the world.

We enjoy doing small group work and rotations. It is important for us to interact with others and get learning to come off of the paper.

While I can take some materials with me between schools, I need to leave other materials behind. My students deserve to have classrooms that are fully stocked with materials for their needs. I am a new teacher and working towards getting more materials for my students.

My Project

These workbooks will allow me to give additional practice to students who may be struggling. Parents often ask for additional practice to be sent home for students to work on.

As a new teacher, I am building my library of resources for my students.

The 180 Days of Math will give my third graders the extra practice they need to make sure they feel confident in math. In addition, the 180 Days of Reading will allow my second graders to gain phonics and comprehension skills. These are crucial as reading is important in all subjects.

Thank you for your support and generosity to allowing us to build our resources.
