Building Thinking Classroom Whiteboards
Funded Nov 6, 2024I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donations that helped purchase whiteboards for our 7th grade math class. These resources have greatly enriched our learning environment and allowed us to implement building thinking classrooms on a weekly basis.
The impact of your support is felt not just by the 125 students currently in our class, but also by all future math classes. The students have described how these whiteboards have made math more enjoyable, fostered collaboration, and encouraged teamwork. They appreciate the opportunity to work in groups, socialize, and make new friends while engaging in hands-on activities.
Here are a few student quotes that highlight the positive changes:
"Math has never been easy for me, but ever since we started doing the whiteboard activities, understanding it has become easier."
"Our class gets to create stronger relationships with our friends and get to know new ones."
"They help us learn to collaborate and share our thinking on math problems."
Thank you once again for your support. We use the whiteboards often, and they truly make a difference in our classroom.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Shaughnessy
iPads for Math Education
Funded Oct 9, 2017We want to thank you so much for your donations that have made it possible for our Math Skills classroom to obtain two iPads for our students learning.
Our students utilize these iPads daily as part of the math curriculum. Students rotate through centers. The iPad that supports OSMO is one the required centers students must pass through. OSMO provides apps/activities that enhance math concepts such as number concepts, time, money, and problem solving. The iPads support our classroom in a most valuable way by offering our students technology that they would not normally or as frequently have access to. This technology opens the door for learning to occur that is interesting and engages our special needs students. We are seeing success in their math skills in areas such as making change, problem solving, and computation.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Shaughnessy
