Funded Nov 9, 2021I would like to thank you for your generous gift to my classroom this year. Without the gift, my students would not be doing as well as they are now. Students come to classes these days without the necessary supplies and these students are not able to excel to their fullest. With the purchase of class set of calculators, scissors and notebooks, my students have been able to learn at a much greater depth than before.
As my students work on their math skills, having a calculator other than their phones has given my students the confidence to learn more than without the calculators. By having the calculators, my students have been able to find solutions to math equations that they were unable to do on a phone calculator.
One of the obstacles that I did face once I got the calculators was teaching the students to use the calculators. They were used to their phone calculators which are no more than a 10-key calculator. With the new calculators the students have been able to see how order of operations in math works and not just on paper. When they get an incorrect solution on their calculator, they are able to see what they have typed into the calculator, unlike their phones.
I am very grateful for your generosity to help my students. Words can't express this.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Lumpkin
