My Project

My students need hot dot pens and hot dot cards to help us work independently and check our answers while we are at centers. My students love to go to math centers, and they always have fun with their peers. I think this will get them excited to start working on more math because it provides immediate feedback, which will help the children know what is wrong and right!

With this donation, my students will learn more about being responsible and learning from their mistakes.

I think that having these hot dot pens and hot dot cards, we will be excited and eager to get the right answer, with the pen saying "Way to go!" or "Awesome!" and also be able to handle the pen when it says "Try again!"
