My Project

My students are in need of white boards, indoor recess games and erasable pouches. The white boards will allow my students to work around the room and to erase mistakes easily without getting frustrated. The weather in IL is so unpredictable and indoor recess brings sadness to my students. These board games will bring joy on those gloomy days and offer a fun and engaging way to promote social skills. The erasable pouches will come in handy when we are working on our math facts and especially when we start working with fractions. Students will be able to use all of these items for years to come. I thank you in advance for donating to this project. The students will be forever grateful.
