  • School & Classroom Supplies for Students Who Deserve It!

    Funded Dec 11, 2018

    School supplies is something that every student should have. However, unfortunately for my students money for school supplies is not always easy to come by. With your generosity I was able to give ALL of my students a binder with paper so that they had basic school supplies to start off the year.

    When I first received the shipment of paper and binders and the students saw me open it, they were so surprised to see that someone had taken the time to donate the funds so that they could get these school supplies. However, they were so grateful. Having their own binders has made math class so much easier because they are much more organized.

    The hand sanitizer and tissues have also been a life saver! I am convinced most of us have avoided getting sick this winter because of the hand sanitizer. Thank you so much for your generosity. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!”

  • Technology to Advance Mathematics Part 3

    Funded Sep 20, 2018

    I have never seen my students so excited to use calculators in my class until we were fortunate enough to get these wonderful tools. With your help, we were able to create a sense of excitement in math class. My students use these calculators on a daily basis. Whether it be for basic calculations or graphing. The best part about these calculators is that they don't need any batteries! In the past I was buying batteries every month to replace the old calculators that we had, now I can just charge them, which is what excites me the most!

    When we did function transformations, my students were so excited to see the functions pop up in colors, and different colors at that! It made being able to identify individual functions much easier because they were color coded. These calculators have allowed me students to do discovery lessons that would have been impossible without them. In previous years when I tried to do function transformations with a black and white calculator I noticed that my students who had learning disabilities had a really hard time differentiating the different functions, now it's clear because they are color coded!

    Without your generosity, non of this would have been possible. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind donation and I know my students are grateful as well. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!”

  • School Supplies for a Great Year

    Funded Sep 22, 2018

    School supplies is something that every student should have. However, unfortunately for my students money for school supplies is not always easy to come by. With your generosity I was able to give ALL of my students a binder with loose leaf paper and pencils so that they had basic school supplies to start off the year.

    When I first received the shipment of paper and pencils and the students saw me open it, they were so surprised to see that someone had taken the time to donate the funds so that they could get these school supplies. However, they were so grateful. Having their own binders has made math class so much easier because they are much more organized.

    Unfortunately, I am at a point in the school year where I have run out of pencils and am almost out of loose leaf paper. My goal is to be able to create another project for paper and pencils so that my students have all the necessary supplies to finish off the school year.

    Thank you so much for your generosity. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!”

Right now in my mathematics classroom we have access to scientific calculators. However, they do not have the capability to explore mathematical concepts like graphing calculators. With these new graphing calculators we would be able to explore mathematical concepts, such as function transformations in my Algebra 2 classroom. In addition, since the graphing calculators have color capability, it would really benefit my special education students. They would clearly be able to see the difference in functions when graphing multiple ones at the same time. Thank you so much for your generous donation in advance, my students will love you for it!
