My Project

My students have been creating amazing projects at the end of each Math Unit this school year. It has been a joy to hang these projects up on our bulletin boards at the culmination of each unit of study in our Algebra 1 curriculum. The only issue is...WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES! My students need very basic supplies such as construction paper, pencils, graph paper notebooks, and folders to help them stay organized. Coming to school unprepared should never happen. The school should have supplies ready and waiting for our students. This project will allow that to happen.
