My Project

I love the desire my students have to learn. They love to help each other and contribute to group activities. We've had many classroom transitions, which have resulted in a need for more supplies. I am not currently in a situation to where I can contribute financially to my classroom.

New dry erase markers will help students will be more engaged during whole group activities.

Headphones will keep them engaged and less distracted during iReady time. My students love graphic novels and will enjoy reading a new selection. New pencils will contribute to their success on independent tasks.
