  • Colorful Math

    Funded Dec 4, 2023

    Words cannot express how much you have helped me to create a classroom full of color for my students! Since many of my students come from low-income homes and are new to the country with limited resources, it can really be a struggle to provide all the basic supplies they need to be motivated to learn and work. The supplies you have granted (markers, scissors, and colored paper) have truly made our charts, resources, and project pop with color. As an unexpected positive consequence, my 6th graders were able to practice cutting paper and adding dimension to their projects, which I didn't realize they needed extra practice with, and would have never known had I not had the classroom scissors for them to use!

    Professionally, I have been using the Spanish Book to help myself (a non-spanish speaking teacher) learn how to better communicate with my newcomers and English Language Learners.

    All of my students and I are forever grateful for your impact in our community.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Mercado

  • Kindness Cricut Machine!

    Funded Oct 23, 2023

    The Cricut machine has brought joy and kindness to my students. We have created posters and T-shirts about kindness using all the Cricut accessories and colored paper. The Cricut has been an amazing way for my students to be motivated and also allow them to exercise their own creativity in thinking about being kind. My students work hard and these materials have been an amazing way to reward them and spread kindness at the same time. Through these items, they can spread kindness like confetti! The Cricut and its accessories have helped my students be community mathematicians and leaders!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Mercado
