Black Mathematics
Funded Mar 23, 2022Thank you so much for the supplies! We as a class are very honored by your contributions. The students advocated that they needed a more comfortable learning environment. This included a powerful fan and LED lights around the room to mirror social media influencers and gamers alike. They have a ball changing the colors and dimming the class down to have a more peaceful mathematics experience. The banner creates a nice touch to the class and gives our 6th grade cohort some identity.
When the students saw the packages arriving they lit up. They instantly went into action by hanging the lights like experts. They hung the banner up and constructed the fan. They felt way more comfortable with the class feeling like a studio.
Students are now working on test prep. They have a lot of tests coming up for the end of the school year. They have been practicing really hard on different test taking strategies. They have been in a cool room with water bottles at the ready. They have pencil pouches that keep their supplies organized. The students are "hyped up, ready for testing, and forever grateful." said one of our class leaders. Thank you again and we need more wonderful people in the world like our donors.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Washington
