My Students

A typical day in my classroom involves lots of math! I teach math to two third grade classes. That's about sixty students! We are always counting, adding, subtracting, multiplying, or building something! I am hoping that my students leave my room feeling as if they are mathematicians!

As my students continue their journey through third grade, I want to be sure to provide them with the materials they need to be successful.

My students are excited to learn and love to have fun, hands-on activities.

My Project

These new materials will give my students a fresh start to a new year with new materials and a clean learning environment. I know that beginning school next year will be more challenging than most. I'm hoping to be able to give my students all new materials that we know are clean and safe for use. The cleaning supplies will allow me to keep my room a healthy and safe environment so that we can focus on the important things such as learning! Having a fresh start will allow us to begin on a positive note!
