Success In the Math Classroom!

Help me give my students whiteboard contact paper, calculators, pencils, and other items to help them show their work and teach each other to have success in the classroom.

My Project

The materials requested will help students be more successful in the classroom. The whiteboard markers and adhesive white boards will be placed around the room for multiple reasons. They will be used as anchor charts, student work, individual work, group work, and vocabulary. This will help students with mastery of grade level standards. They will also be used for enrichment with students who have mastered the material the rest of my classroom has been completing.

The rolling desk will allow me to be portable throughout the classroom while working with students as they are working at their different stations.

The other items requested are all needed to support the learning of students but are often running low. When we don't have these items available, it is stressful for both the students and the teacher. Having one of these items would help our classroom to run more smoothly and give students access to materials that are needed daily.
