My Project

My students love learning math in first grade. For many, this is their favorite part of the day in our classroom. Your help will provide my students with new and fun math resources such as clocks, number paths, geoboards, balance scales, and dry erase pockets. The fluorescent light covers will reduce sensory overload and create a soothing learning environment.

These highly engaging math resources, such as the geoboards, rekenreks, balance scales, and clocks, will help them grow stronger in addition, subtraction, fractions, and telling time.

I appreciate your love and kindness this school year. I want to provide my first graders with all the amazing resources to support their math growth in first grade! Thank you for your wonderful donation to help my first graders!
