My Project

My classroom is a place were we focus our skills on Math. However, many times my students do not have pencils needed for the classwork. I also would like to enrich the class environment with colorful posters with math facts related to our content.

Please help with making our class more functional with math fact posters and giving my students the pencils and sharpener they need to sharpen their math skills.

Having appropriate posters and enough classroom supplies on hand will help enhance the education I can give my students.
