Because of your support, my 8th-grade students now have access to a class set of calculators that will be used throughout the school year.\r\n\r\nAs a math teacher, I want every student to have the tools they need to participate, practice new skills, and feel successful in the classroom. Having a class set of calculators means that students will no longer have to worry about whether they have access to one when they need it. These calculators will be used during daily lessons, small-group instruction, independent practice, and assessments.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a direct difference in our classroom. More importantly, your donation shows my students that there are people outside of our school who believe in them and are willing to invest in their education.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting my students, my classroom, and their success in math.
