My Project

It's that time again. Back to school is vastly approaching. I am eager to fill my new role as the MATH LAB teacher. My scholars will be working hard to complete at least 3 lesson on our math intervention program Zearn. I want to motivate my scholars starting day one to reach their goal. The items I have selected will be used to motivate them to complete their minimum goal of 3 lessons per week. Engaging in math intervention programs has been proven to yield outstanding results, leading to a multitude of significant rewards.
