My Project

All of my students are eager to learn when they come to class. Sometimes just looking at material in a book or on a computer gets boring. My project will give my students many hands on activities to making leaning more fun.

Student engagement in lessons will go up, as will their academic achievement.

You always remember the class that you had fun in while learning. Many students have trouble with place value and division. The dominoes and dry erase boards will help them to remember the procedures they need to be successful.

Mrs. Scalisi James A Herod Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
