  Thank you so much for supporting my project. The new materials have come in so handy when pulling small groups for intervention and enrichment.

• Tools, Tools, Tools

  Funded Feb 15, 2023

  Our math tool kits are such a hit with the students! The students are able to use them every day during math time to help them solve math problems. These kits have allowed even those who are struggling to at least have an entry point in to every problem. Using hands on manipulatives is so exciting and that excitement has increase student engagement during the entire math block.

  My students were so happy to hear that our project had been funded. When the materials started to arrive they could not contain themselves. They were all very interested in helping to set these up and could not wait to be able to use them! Allowing my students to "create" their own bins has added to the excitement that these materials have brought to the classrooms.

  Our next steps are learning to use these materials responsibly and making decisions about what needs to be added to these kits that will help the students out in the future.”
