That Math is For Me

Funded Aug 7, 2012

I want to thank each of you once again for funding my classroom project, "That Math is For Me." We recently received our items in the mail, and have begun using them. My new class was very excited when we first opened the boxes, and have been utilizing them daily during math time.

These items couldn't have come at a better time. My current class comes to me with a lot of room for growth in math, and these supplemental materials are serving us well. We have been utilizing the white erase boards daily to practice multiplication problems, and the set of dice has been an exciting addition for all the teachers in my hallway, they've already been used numerous times.

I look forward to the impact of the other items as the school year progresses. The Kindle Fire tablet computer has so far been fun for the students, myself, and my own children. This marks the first time that I've had access to such technology in the classroom, and have already downloaded and app that links the Kindle to my laptop computer and projector in the classroom. There are some interesting capabilities and opportunities for learning that involve the tablet, and as we move forward in the year, I have every intention of giving students access to this tool.

Once again, I can't thank you enough for your donation to my classroom. It has helped me start the year off with excitement and a sense of forward progress. My students are excited to see new learning opportunities, and ask daily about what we're going to do next. ”

With gratitude,

Mr. Bussell
