The Power of Yet!

Help me give my students essential supplies like flexible seating and dry erase lapboards and markers to get their school year up and started.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Miles's classroom raised $1,242

My Project

The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. However, we often are not able to supply students with dry erase markers each day. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. The math practice cards will be used daily by students so they may master math facts and skills; and the folders will help students keep their work organized by subject.

Students are also in need of flexiable seating to help keep them focused while wiggling in their seats.

Donate to this project to help disadvantaged students in Washington, DC, by increasing their academic achievement.
