My Project

My students are loving and caring for one another. The students embrace one another by helping each other or saying hello in the morning when the students arrive in the class. The students are unique because their personalities are different and bring a diversity of care. These supplies will make a difference in their learning because each student can become a creative author and illustrator after reading multiple books weekly. The students will recall the story, draw various images in their journal, and share it with their class. The Base 10 hands-on Teaching Kit will help the students learn about teen numbers and how to represent the numbers by using concrete items in their lesson. When students can use concrete objects in the class, the learning stays with them forever. Thank you in advance for your donations.
