My Project

My students come from a title 1 school. We have 100% free lunch. Our students benefit greatly from the added resources you donate. I take small math groups daily and we have been playing card games to help reinforce math skills. I laminate the cards so they're more durable and will last longer. The laminating paper will help to preserve these games.

We also need white board easels and dry erase markers to help solve the math problems.

Our groups are always on the go, so the portable easels will be beneficial for my groups. The prize box prizes will help reinforce engagement and good behavior. Learning should be fun!
