We Love Math

Funded Jan 23, 2020

Thank you so very much for your generous donations. The materials have been used for several group projects over the past months. We were in dire need of paper, pencils, and student folders as they are used frequently. Every other week my students participate in what we call "Math Menu". This is an opportunity for my students to engage in independent, small group learning. Math can become boring and my middle school students love the opportunity to choose problems they want to work through and have the chance to be able to work in new groups.

The donations you provided supported the purchase of the materials needed to support our

Math Menu learning. Students need to be able to use their folders to house the work they are doing with their team as well as keep support materials to help them with the math. During our unit on Ratios and Proportions, my 7th grade needed to utilize the glue sticks when they were creating team posters using the math problems we were working on.

My students are always my support team when we have to unbox any new materials, and when my they saw all of the new materials they were in awe. One student said, "That's a lot of pencils! Why did you get so many pencils?" I had to remind them that we had already gone through several hundred and this will really help us for the rest of the year. Smiles were big that day! From each one of my students, thank you, thank you.”

With gratitude,
