• Stop! Collaborabate and Math It!

  Funded Nov 29, 2022

  How amazing to share the joy and spread the news to my 8th graders that they will be able to collaborate for the rest of the school year with your generous donations to our project. We are beyond excited to Math It with one another. You all are amazing individuals with deep hearts that go above and beyond for students who you'll never meet. We thank you kindly!”

• Tech for Face to Face and Virtual Learning!

  Funded Dec 2, 2020

  It is with deep gratitude that I write this impact letter for "Tech for Face to Face and Virtual Learning". This school year is like no other year of "traditional" school years. You willingness and opportunity to give these students goes far beyond the classroom walls. By having the laptop and carry case, I am able to afford the opportunity for student learning in a middle school math classroom.

  Students no longer have to be impatient for a new screen or learning game to begin due only one screen. This technology has allowed higher engagement through so many open doors. Not only is there increased engagement, students are able to see real time examples being added to Google Classroom through the RocketBook. Honestly, this is the most amazing project completed so no student will be left behind.

  Thank you for your generosity and sharing my passion of providing students with the new way of learning through technology.”

• Cart Into the Future With Ms. S!

  Funded Aug 12, 2020

  Thank you for your generous contribution to our Donor's Choose project Cart Into The Future With Ms. S. Our classroom has received 2 carts that can move from classroom to classroom as well as remote teaching from home. The carts allow students to have access to their individual supplies needed for middle school math.

  We have learned how to slowly but surely how to navigate math in this new era of teaching and learning. Students are always able to have their classroom on wheels!

  Thank you again for taking the time to reach out to our classroom. Your donations speak loudly!”

• Becoming New Math Scholars Using Basic Supplies

  Funded Jul 27, 2020

  Math can be challenging for students, especially during these unknown times. Your generosity and kindness helped to supply 75 students with math supply bags and the ability to create math at any moment during school hours or anytime not spent on school. These supplies will allow them to become even more engaged without having to search for necessary equation solving and graphing slopes.

  Although learning remotely and some face to face presents challenges, we are elated to use individual supplies for when we all return to middle school. We will be able to solve more problems and check for mistakes without feeling overwhelmed!

  From our learning hearts, we are grateful for your support!”

• Getting Flexible with Math Stations!

  Funded Feb 14, 2019

  As an educator to urban, low-income middle school math students, I am moved by your generous donation to help math students succeed on a nontraditional method. Movement allows many students to focus better for longer periods of time. Students not only refocus but also move in such a way that is not disruptive of teaching and learning. While there is a bell ringer to start math class, students are quick to grab their wobble stools or cushions before beginning class!

  Why not have math presented in a way that students can learn all the while playing board games and challenging each other to the next competition? The math board games bring math to life in real-world situations other than solving a variety of math equations in a workbook or a supplemental technology program. These games are so popular that students immediately choose the games over working with me in small groups.

  Funding simple supplies also bring joy to our math class. You don't the power students have with a whiteboard and dry erase marker. They engage and immerse themselves in completing math tasks rather than the teacher showing how to complete each and every step.

  While my project was funded 2018-2019 school year, future students will also benefit from your generosity!”
