Building a Classroom for Young Women in STEM!!

Funded Sep 23, 2021

Thank you for supporting our Math 6 Advanced classroom here at YWCPA!!

My students and I are using our new resources to do group projects and to work in stations. Many of my students came to 6th grade with multiple learning gaps, so being able to provide them with manipulatives during class has been a great help for them to understand concepts being covered in class. I like to implement cut-and-paste mini projects so students can physically see their work and work towards an understanding while putting the pieces together.

Many students are visual and kinesthetic learners, so having a place where they can "actively" learn has been beneficial for all who enter my classroom. When they first saw the materials, they were excited, and wanted to know what we were going to do with all our new supplies. I ordered supplies and tools that can be used this school year and future school years to come.

We are currently in our geometry unit, and the students are creating their own amusement parks! The materials provided will help students create their own designs, build models, keep track of their math, and produce an overall project that shows understanding of measurement geometry, financial literacy, and time management.

Thank you again for your support of our classroom. Your generosity is greatly appreciated, and I am forever grateful!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Hamilton
