Budding Bronx Mathematicians Need a Projector
Funded Sep 15, 2018I cannot express how thankful I am for your generosity. The addition of a projector to the classroom will help my coteacher and l provide additional support to students and provide more opportunities to check in one-on-one with students to assess their learning. My students are eager for the arrival of this new technology. Thank you all again for making this possible.”

Funded Mar 5, 2017Thank you all for your generous donations, which allowed my students to have the unique experience of sailing around the NYC harbor. My students had an amazing time on the Pioneer, a sailboat that is over one hundred years old and is itself a piece of New York history. While on the trip, my students got to pull the ropes to raise the sails, hold and learn about live clams, look at water samples, and learn how to use a compass and read a map, just like the original sailors of the Pioneer did.
One highlight of the trip for my students was raising the sails on the ship. My students got to learn the real terminology that sailors use and call back and forth with the captain of the ship. They learned about the different parts of the ship and how they work. Back in the classroom, my students were able to discuss what they saw and experienced while sailing. My students reflected on what they learned, which included discussing which buildings surrounding the harbor had been there when the ship originally sailed.
The students of Mott Hall III and I are so grateful that you have helped give us this wonderful experience!”
