My Students

I teach Math and Science to a group of curious and energetic second graders. Our school is located in an impoverished area of a large city. The crime rate is very high and there are many abandoned houses, empty lots and rubbish in the neighborhood surrounding the school. Our school is Title I funded, and over 95% of my students qualify for and receive free breakfast, lunch, and after school snack on a daily basis.

I believe any child can achieve greatness, if given the right tools.

My students have very loving, caring and concerned parents who do the best they can, but cannot always afford all the tools their children need to be successful. This is why I need a little extra help making sure my students get everything they need to reach their maximum potential.

My Project

I am asking for Math Equivalency puzzles because I notice many of my students are having trouble understanding concepts like money, time, and place-value and I believe these puzzles will help increase their level of knowledge and understanding. The interactive science notebook is a hands-on way to take notes and help commit the science concepts and vocabulary to memory. Also, the Number Talk activity centers, Basic Math Skills Book, and Daily Science Journals are building blocks to higher learning and understanding of math and science.

These hands-on math and science activities will give my students the push they need to excel in school.

Technology is very helpful in the classroom, but being able to learn something by touching and manipulating things help students connect their learning to their environment. I need these hands-on math puzzles, and basic skills practice books to help my students the tools they need to reach their maximum potential.
