2022-2023 6th Grade Math

Funded Aug 19, 2022

Thanks to your generosity, my students and I have been able to transform our classroom into a vibrant, engaging learning space! The new math posters are helping us dive deeper into key concepts, like fractions and decimals, by serving as constant visual reminders during lessons. The doorbell has been a game-changer for classroom management, providing a clear and non-disruptive way to signal transitions and refocus students. The headphones have been instrumental for individualized learning, allowing students to focus on math games and instructional videos without distractions.

One moment that stood out was when I introduced the headphones during a fractions activity. Students were able to work independently at their own pace, and I could hear them excitedly comparing scores on their practice games. They were so excited to have their own tools for learning!

When the materials first arrived, the excitement in the room was electric. Many students commented on how much more "official" and "cool" the classroom felt with all the posters and supplies. They were especially thrilled with the doorbell—it feels like a fun signal that they actually respond to with enthusiasm.

Looking ahead, we'll be using these resources to deepen our understanding of math concepts through small group work and individualized practice. For example, next week, we'll start a project on calculating percentages using real-world scenarios. The headphones will allow students to work through online simulations, while the posters will guide their problem-solving.

Thank you again for supporting my students. You've truly made a lasting impact on their learning environment and engagement!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Coffman
