My Project

As we navigate the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, our students are returning to in-person learning with an eagerness to engage in hands-on activities that foster a deeper understanding of math concepts.

To facilitate this transition and make learning more interactive, I am seeking support for math manipulatives.

These tools will not only enhance our curriculum but also provide students with tangible experiences that go beyond the virtual realm.

Additionally, I believe that incorporating fun incentives and snacks will further contribute to a positive and engaging learning environment. I am particularly excited about using popits, which add an enjoyable sensory element to our lessons, and providing yummy treats like chocolate and animal crackers to make the learning experience memorable.

I am truly inspired by my students' enthusiasm for learning, and I am confident that with the right supplies, we can create an environment that nurtures their curiosity and academic growth.
