My Project

We are a Thinking Maps school. In order to complete the maps properly, students need the necessary tools.

Markers are essential to the Thinking Map process.

Without the different colors, the maps will not be able to be completed properly.

I have an amazing group of students. Unfortunately, they come from low income families that are unable to supply the necessary tools for learning.

Thinking maps are a tool used to increase the students writing skills. Being able to properly label and mark up the maps is a crucial part of the Thinking map process. These markers will help my students complete the process.
