  • Flexible Seating in Mathematics Environment

    Funded Aug 13, 2021

    I am completely in awe and shocked by your generous donations. Thank you for looking into my projects and for believing in the fact that my students deserve the world. I cannot put in words how much I appreciate it and I can guarantee you that my students will be beyond excited. Returning from schooling after COVID can be a daunting task and you have just provided my classroom the tools needed for students to feel at home. Thank you thank you thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Colonna

  • Math For ALL

    Funded Nov 22, 2019

    Words cannot describe how appreciative my students and I are of all that you have done for us and given us. The IPAD has done WONDERS in building my students' confidence in displaying their work on the SMARTboard and for them to use as an interactive supplement for when they are done early with their work. The online math programs take math to a whole new level. It provides room and a means to bring conceptual understanding of the content to the classroom! My students are elated to use new technology. The use of the IPAD in the room to draw on to display their ideas or to document their work has truly been a delight. I will never get over the joy I see in their eyes. Thank you for bringing this opportunity to my students - It means the world.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Colonna

I am constantly trying to level up as a teacher so that I can give my students the best education they all deserve. I am trying to break out of the traditional mold of chalk and talk lessons and instead have rich activities, tasks and tools for my students to be excited and discover the mathematics and computer science skills presented to them. My students are explorers. Through exploration I watch my students' confidence levels grow as they realize how they are more than capable of achieving success using their own ideas! As they begin to believe more in themselves, they begin to become more engaged in the lessons. These students bring up discussions, topics, and ideas that I have yet to hear in my past years of teaching. Every day I am in awe of their inspiration to me as a teacher and every day I wish I had more tools to provide more successes for them.
