    Thank you so much for supporting student's snacks and academic needs in our classroom! As we begin the school year in the building, we must start the right things. we knew our students would need. Many of our students were eager to return to school to learn and having the necessary classroom supplies to help them stay focused and engaged makes a difference. having snacks not only puts a smile on their faces it helps them during the day. lunch is a little early and the students go out to play having a little snack after recess makes a big impact.

A picture is worth a thousand words. This is nowhere truer than a math classroom. I use colorful visual aids daily to make mathematics accessible for all students, primarily at my personal expense. For most, the language of mathematics is challenging. For many of my students, math is NOT their favorite subject. The work is challenging and difficult to understand. Colorful visual aids make learning fun and provide something a little different. When I present my students with visual aids for math, they can be in color and give a deeper context and meaning to the lesson. In addition, students learning will be stimulated and connect the learning to help them make sense of what they are learning without complication. A color printer along with ink for our classroom will provide my students with visual aids that make learning dynamic and fun; as well as take the spotlight off the challenge of learning mathematics for my students.
