    Funded Apr 13, 2019

    Thank you for your amazing donations. During our time dealing with Covid, the donation of headphones was wonderful. Headphones allowed our students to participate freely in online classes and virtual field trips. Students for safety were assigned their own headphones for use. Our students were able to continue learning without missing any important information provided by other teachers or guest speakers.

  • Creating Magic in Math

    Funded Oct 5, 2018

    Thank you for your extremely generous gift. Your gift has greatly impacted our students theoretical understanding of three dimensional figures. With your gift, our students created adjustable volume cubes. These cubes gave students a manipulative to support formulas for area and volume. This creation allowed our students to visualize the formulas. Once our students were able to capsulize these geometric topics, our standardize test scores increased.

    Your gift is greatly appreciated by our Roosevelt School Community.”

Our project will be used to bring geometry lessons to life. My fifth graders are introduced to finding the volume of cube. By students creating a large cube from smaller cubes, they will better understand why and how to calculate the volume of a figure. This project will offers support to students in Visual Arts and STEM. The "magic" folding cube is made up of 8 single cubes. When you buy a folding cube from a store, it is usually a picture cube. The faces show nine different pictures, six outside and three inside. Students will be allowed to decorate the magic cube with inspiration from famous artist or mathematicians.
