This project expired on December 11, 2024.

My Project

Please help me to implement year two of my self-guided math instruction.

Headphones are an integral piece of this process.

Students will watch videos I upload, and through my guidance, will show mastery of their own individualized path. I am so excited to begin this year two of this project with my students, and any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated. My students are amazing and are capable of so much! My ultimate goal is to help them love math as much as I do, and your donation will go a long way to make that happen. Thank you so much!
