This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Banister from Baton Rouge, LA is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Math is Essential Learning!

My students need hands-on manipulatives in learning Math. Based on research students learn more when they start with concrete to abstract strategy. With the help of math manipulatives, students can start answering their Math Journal.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I'm so excited to see my students after the Great Flood 2016. I know they have different stories in life to share. It could be a heartbreaking story or a victory after obnoxious tragedy. This event will be marked forever in our students' lives.

Baton Rouge students are confident, shaken but the spirit is unbroken!

We will do our best to make up the days we lost. We will make each moment in the classroom a learning experience. We are hopeful, something GREAT is about to come!

My Project

Since Baton Rouge suffered in the Great Flood, all instructional materials were gone. We are trying to provide our students with learning tools to make their learning easier and meaningful.

Our students are capable of doing greater things in school!

We just need to provide our students quality time to learn using appropriate strategies and learning materials.

Manipulatives will help our students picture the problem and think of possible solutions. With the use of the Math games, Activity Center and Problem Solving Journals requested, our students will have positive learning outcome. Students will help develop critical thinking and apply what they learn in their real life situation.
