My Project

I am asking for black folders to help my students organize the work in all subjects they take home to work on independently or with help from their grown-ups. This work can be homework, activities, or partial or complete projects. I am also asking for whiteboards, whiteboard markers, and whiteboard eraser sets to help my students practice writing: letter formation (for those who may need it) or to practice using phonics strategies to help them with their spelling or with organizing their ideas for writing. Last, I am asking for base ten units so my students can practice counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, or whatever other number they want to challenge themselves to. Counting is not only fun, but it also helps them to develop their number sense.

My goal for this project is for my students to have what they need at home to experience success in organizing their work, different writing, and math as they count and develop their number sense.

My students are truly an amazing group that absolutely love learning about everything. They enjoy being praised for being organized, counting in defferent ways, and using a whiteboard for different reasons.

In advance, thank you for coming alongside me in helping my students.
