My Project

Hello! This project will help organize our classroom. As many people know, materials today are expensive. I am looking for funding to make my room more user-friendly. While we have adapted a system that works here, better organization will make sure the days run smoothly. We have a great group of students who are always looking to learn. I believe that funding this project will help my students learn in a stronger way.

Let's get this project funded and start getting organized!

I plan to use the math whiteboards to assist students in separating their numbers into the given place values. This will help eliminate many of the issues that I have seen this year.

I also plan to use the new pencil bins to make the morning transition seamless!

Finally, the magnetic board clips will be used to showcase the great student work that I see this year. This will help show the rest of the class exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks so much.
