FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Berry's classroom raised $716

My Project

This project will allow me to provide my students with materials like highlighters, paper, and laminated reference sheets for their binders. Copy paper is limited, so having access to blank paper and colored paper for students is essential! Students want to learn as much as possible and like most kids, they want to learn it as quickly as possible.

Color coding is one of the most effective strategies to help students learn in the classroom and these highlighters will provide that.

These highlighters will make such a difference for my students so they will be able to quickly look back at the text they highlighted to answer their questions and have the ability to erase if they make mistakes!
