This year was my 6th year of teaching but my first teaching first grade. After moving into my new classroom and diving into the curriculum, I quickly realized that the math kit in my classroom had seen better days. The math curriculum we are using was published and given to the first grade team when we were following the North Carolina Standard Course of Study many years ago. However, for the past few years we have been required to follow the Common Core Standards. The newer standards are relative but much more in depth that what was originally published. Many times this year I found myself struggling to extend upon what we had as well as create activities and materials to foster my students engagement and love of learning for math. I put forth everything I had but there were many times I felt as though I came up short. I was in need of materials that could grab their attention and provide fun and exciting ways to learn and engage with our math standards.  

With these funds I will purchase manipulatives and materials to help provide my students with an engaging and exciting hands on approach to mathematics.
