  • Biology to Life!

    Funded Apr 20, 2017

    Thank you so much for your donation! Mott Hall V students will now have an opportunity to experience live science with the use of microscopes. Experiential learning promotes long lasting understanding that will allow students to excel not only in what they have learned, but transfer the skills to other areas of their lives.

    I look forward to sharing with you the pictures of activities and notes of appreciation.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Polanco

  • Individualized Sound

    Funded Sep 16, 2016

    Thank you for funding our sound project!

    Mott Hall V is a school that is preparing the youth of the Bronx for our high tech society. Mott Hall V graduates will be independent and inquisitive young people on the path to being lifelong learners and doers. All learning at Mott Hall V takes place in the context of the age of technology into which our students are born and in which they will someday lead. Students receive the individual attention they need in order to thrive. In an atmosphere like that of a family, both caring and firm, students are challenged by a rigorous scholastic program and nurtured by activities that address their developmental progress from child to adolescent. Mott Hall V teachers not only encourage creativity and critical thinking, but self-discipline and responsibility as well.

    If you view our pictures you will see a classroom where independent thinking and accountability is taking place. Student work in small groups, and independently. They use computers, smartboards and even paper and pen sometimes...

    When students are working independently on the computer they often use multimedia resources that affect the decibel and concentration level of the room, having our class sets of headphones has allowed use to be accountable and focused on learning.

    Mott Hall V students are FALCONS! (Focused Accountable Learners Compassionate Open-Minded Noble and Safe)”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Polanco

We try to offer students a 21st century education. That means that they are often assigned work on google classroom which may include watching videos. Students then work at completing the task at their own pace, sometime watching videos more than once and finding additional videos to support and assure their understanding. Have you ever heard 30 computers playing sound at the same time? Well, it's very distracting! Help me provide students the opportunity to work at their own pace and learn in a multi-media world. The classroom set of headphones will help them have individualized sound.
