Preparing Students to Take Great Notes!

Help me give my students the resources to learn to take excellent notes.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ashby's classroom raised $187

This project is fully funded

My Project

Providing my amazing 8th-grade advanced math students with resources for organized note-taking will empower them to take charge of their learning. Organized notes help students retain complex concepts, track problem-solving strategies, and build long-term understanding.

Many of my students are preparing for high school level coursework, and strong notetaking habits are essential for their success.

With the right tools, including notebooks, Post-it tabs, and Sharpies, they can begin to take organized, self-directed notes, and they will become more confident and ready to tackle challenges. Your support helps build strong foundations that will benefit them well beyond this school year.
