  • Wiggle While You Work! Alternative Seating for Math Class

    Funded Nov 20, 2024

    I just want to say thank you to everyone who donated to this project. Now that my project is fully funded my students will have a choice of seating, making my classroom a more welcoming environment to learn. We will all be wiggling while we work on becoming great mathematicians. I appreciate your help so much.”

  • Making a CALCULATED Effort to Learn Math..... :)

    Funded Nov 6, 2015

    So, as most people know, there is a traditional way to teach math. In the middle grades (the grades I teach - 6,7,8), that traditional method produces bored students that rarely retain the lesson at hand. Being blessed with an opportunity from Donors Choose patrons has truly enhanced the way my students experience math. No longer are they uncomfortable in stiff chairs. Now, we sit on balance balls. Not only is it fun, but it helps my fidgety students by providing an outlet for their energy. This enables them to be clear and focused enough to enjoy the lesson at hand.

    Now, "math books" no longer refers to a boring text book... we have a wonderful library of math literature books that reach students that learn best through reading. It makes math fun and approachable through stories and sports anecdotes. Students can see that math in interesting and get drawn into a world where math is a part of the adventure!

    Thank you so much for helping me to bring my classroom to life, to make it interesting and engaging for all of my students. I could NEVER have done all this without the wonderful people who donated and DONORS CHOOSE! :)”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McDonald
