My Project

Every day my students ask me for something to eat in class. Normally I go out and buy snacks myself because hungry students do not learn! I am hoping these snacks will last for the rest of the school year and that I will be able to provide something to eat during the Regents as well.

Pencils- every day I am giving out at least 10 pencils, I am hoping that this box will get me through this year into next year before I'll need to buy more!

After School International Club

- students present on their diverse countries and bring in food to share with each other. Students in the club are from: Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ecuador, Sudan, Turkey, Burma, Thailand and more!

- Students need the forks, plates and tablecloths

ENL (English as a New Language) Algebra

- the vocabulary cards and posters will help the students visualize the new Algebra vocabulary words. English language learners have a difficult time learning new vocabulary.

- I plan to put the cards inside of the pocket charts.

ENL Business Math

- Having real world items to teach Business Math will help the ELLs connect to the material taught in class. These items might seem immature for a high school class, but ENL is taught very differently and I hope to make things more hands on next year.

- cash register to "make purchases"

- ATM machine to "withdraw money"

- magnetic money as a visual on the board
