SNOWFLAKE code on Donor's Choose

Thank You so much to the Bill Gates Foundation for doubling any donations made to Donor's Choose accounts of teachers this week. My class is in need of Hands on Reading centers for literacy and our project is only $129 away from being funded. The kiddos will be so excited when we come back from the holidays.

Donor's Choose Project

I posted my first Donor's Choose project this week. I am excited about the opportunity that this project can bring to my classroom. The project is titled Math Fun Our Way in Kindergarten. My little mathematicians need a class set of Ten Frames, large rekenrek and counting materials. I have 5 second language learners who need these hands on materials. Hopefully we can fund this project. Anyone interested can use the Code Spark until Dec. 6 to get us double funding.
