My Project

My first graders would benefit from having more math and literacy materials. We could use magnetic pictures and letters for students who need more support with reading consonant, vowel, consonant words. We also need magnetic Unifix cubes and ten frames for modeling during whole class math lessons. Our math curriculum also requires us to use addition expression cards but we do not have the cards! These cards will help my students to sort which expressions are equal to each other.

Your donation will provide my students with materials that they can use to strengthen their math and literacy skills.
