Self-Contained Math Supplies

Help me give my students supplies to support them in their math skills

My Project

I work in a low income district in a self-contained special education classroom. My students are hard workers who require supplies to be successful. Having pencils is a huge support for my students. We use pencils every day, and my students don't always have the means to bring one from home. Also, having the colored pencils will help them to complete fun coloring math activities in class.

Giving my Special Education students the supplies they need to be successful will only allow them to grow in their math skills.

Having a fun desk chair will provide them with a flexible seating and a reward to stay on task. Also, having a set of class headphones will allow them to stay focused on their assignments on the computers. All of the supplies in this project will be put to good use in our classroom.
