Summer School Fun!

Help me give my students with the following items for summer school. We will be using white boards for summer fun activities, therefore we need Expo markers in various colors. We will also be creating interactive math notebooks.

My Students

I am an educator at an inner-city school in Miami, and I get to educate the most amazing group of students. This summer my school will be hosting a summer school program to help close the gaps that occurred due to the pandemic and all the ways that it affected education. I am hoping to make the summer program as fun as possible while also being educational. I plan in incorporating as many games and non-traditional ways of teaching as I possibly can.

My Project

This summer we will work on closing the educational gaps by making learning fun!! Math and Science Summer Fun!!!

Save the planet, use white boards and expo markers!!

The population of students I serve is unable to buy the needed supplies. My students love using expo markers to write and draw. Using white boards and expo markers also allows us to have a greener classroom where less paper is used. Save a tree!

We will create interactive math notebooks so we need lots of glue and tape to get our journals going!!
