My Project

This project will make a significant difference in student learning by providing accessible math manipulatives. The storage bins will allow students to easily access hands-on tools, helping them better grasp abstract math concepts. The grant will also provide lap desk that will allow students to move throughout the classroom to collaborate during instruction. By offering tactile math tools and a cozy learning area, we aim to build confidence, improve understanding, and create a positive environment where every student feels supported and motivated to learn.

Students are special because each one has unique learning needs, and by offering diverse tools and a supportive space, we ensure that all students, regardless of their learning style, can succeed.

Many students thrive in hands-on environments, and this grant will provide the resources to create this in our classroom.
