My Project

I love how curious, creative, and resilient my students are. They show up every day ready to learn, ask questions, and push themselves to grow. These resources will help them stay organized, actively participate in lessons, and build confidence in math. Mini whiteboards and dry erase markers will allow for quick checks and engaging practice, while multiplication boards support fact fluency. Folders and pencils will keep their materials in order, and fun rewards like mechanical pencils and a wireless mouse will keep motivation high. Every item helps create a classroom where learning feels exciting and accessible.

Ms. Wadley will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 15.
