  • Hands-On Math Activities Bring Up Mathematical Problem Solving

    Funded Jan 22, 2020

    You and your generosity are positively impacting my students. With your donation, I am able to offer educational games that include a die and the use of a blank 100 chart. The games include multiple skill development and practice. Some of those skills are: number automaticity, addition, even/odd, number pattern work, learn & practice number identification, counting cardinality, addition, and problem solving. These games are played independently or with family members.

    Since my students are developing their mathematical, writing, and reading literacy, their participation in these educational games helps them in their educational pathway.

    So then, you and your generosity are positively impacting students, families and communities as a whole. I am immensely thankful for your gift.”

  • Hands on Activities Bring Up Learning Skills

    Funded Jan 18, 2020

    Your generosity is positively impacting my students. With your donation, I am able to print educational games that are used in students' homes. These games are played independently or with family members.

    Since my students are developing their mathematical, writing, and reading literacy, their participation in these educational games helps them in their educational pathway. Specifically, in the participation of one of the games, my students roll a die and land on an object. Then, they practice the isolation of sounds of the object. A current example, students identify the first sound in cat as /k/. Gradually and with practice, students will identify all sounds i.e. /k/ /a/ /t/. Students' ability to isolate or segment all phonemes in a word will lead to satisfying a kindergarten state standard of cvc phonetic spelling words, thus develop their writing skills.

    So then, you and your generosity are positively impacting students, families and communities as a whole. I am immensely thankful for your gift.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Zavala
