My Project

As an educator, my goal is to foster a love for learning in my first-grade students, particularly in mathematics, which lays the foundation for their future academic success. I am seeking support from DonorsChoose.org to fund the purchase of a Math Calendar and Centers designed to enhance our classroom's learning environment and improve student engagement in math.

The Math Calendar and Centers will serve as essential tools in our daily math instruction.

The Math Calendar will help students understand the passage of time, recognize patterns, and learn about numbers through daily activities. Math Centers will provide interactive and hands-on learning experiences that cater to different learning styles and abilities, encouraging collaboration and critical thinking among students.

The Math Calendar and Centers will significantly impact my students' learning experiences. They will not only make math more enjoyable but also help solidify foundational concepts, leading to improved confidence and performance in the subject. Additionally, these resources will promote a positive classroom environment where students feel safe and excited to explore math.
