My children come from diverse backgrounds where they are not afforded the same opportunities as most students. 90% of our students receive free or reduced cost lunch. By having these materials, I will be able to provide them with the hands-on and engaging resources they deserve. The majority of my students will be coming to third grade significantly below grade level and have encountered summer slide. To bridge this achievement gap, having the requested activities will allow me to engage each learner and appeal to their interests. Research has proven that integration of literacy will improve math skills due to the fact that math is more than numbers. I have included read aloud books to build a culture and community in our classroom to introduce new topics like multiplication, division, and fractions. Other materials on my wish list such as math games and fluency activities will allow students to practice in a hands-on way to keep their learning rich and engaging to ensure a lasting retention and understanding of grade level content.
