My Students

My students attend a neighborhood Title I school, that is in one of the lowest income areas in our parish. Many of these students have no life experiences outside of their neighborhoods. When students enter our school, they have no math or literacy background skills. As a result, the early elementary grades focus more on teaching reading, writing, and math. As students begin the fifth grade, we are starting a brand new math curriculum and I want to make sure that they start the year with everything they need in order to succeed and grow.

Most of my students come from a low income, high poverty homes.

Our school is currently in a transition to help these students academically, physically and mentally. We are working toward no longer being a low performing school, and to help our students have sense of accomplishment and SUCCESS!

My Project

Year after year one of the biggest struggles my students have going into the 5th grade is math fact fluency. Donating these hand held devices will make fact fluency fun and interactive. Students will easily be able to pick up and use them with partners or individually and practice the vital skills to ensure math success in my class and in future math classrooms. I believe that these electronic fluency devices will make a difference with my students by making learning fun and will allow them to focus on the single task of fluency, which is typically hard for them to do.
