  • Kicking Math Around the Field

    Funded Aug 27, 2024

    My students actually started screaming when they saw the soccer balls and begged to air them up immediately. I told them what the plan was to use them to help us learn our math. Using Magic School AI, I typed in our curriculum goals and asked it to create a soccer game. Ten seconds later we had our rules and were headed to the soccer field to try our new game. I took pictures of the kids playing and actually in a photo, it looks like regular soccer. The kids love it.

    My class is over 50% ESL and the international students really love it. I hope that the fun makes the math stick. I can't thank you enough for the generosity because I get to see the smiles and hear that I am the best teacher in the world, when you should be here to hear that as well.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Ritchey

  • Treasure Hunting in the Habitat

    Funded May 3, 2024

    The kids had a great time following a map and measuring to " X marks the spot", where they were able to use the metal detectors to find the next clue (that also had them measure to the next clue) until they found the big treasure. They also enjoyed reading the Pete the cat treasure book and we are still reading Jack Jones in class together. Thanks so much for making learning fun. The metal detectors were a great hit. They all had to take turns using them and the shovel! They also found a few other metal objects that were mostly rusted but they were excited to find anything! We've started a collection of everything they find.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Ritchey
