My Students

I work in a school that serves students and their families that fall below the poverty line. Many of our students come to school without their basic needs being met. Even though my students don't have all of their basic needs met, they come to school to eager to learn. Their excitement for school and learning keeps me motivated to find fun and engaging activities for them to do, so they can continue to learn. For some, school is their safe place and I do my best to make sure that they feel safe and loved in my classroom.

Our students want to learn but they just need the right tools to help them be successful and engaged in their learning.

Recently, much of the neighborhood around our school where most of our students live, has been struggling with an outburst of violence, making our students feel even less safe than they had before. When I am able to keep them engaged in fun learning activities it helps to keep their mind off the violence that surrounds them. They enjoy coming to school to learn, I just want to make their learning experience the best possible.

My Project

The use of whiteboards and math manipulatives is part of my daily math lesson. Using whiteboards and math manipulatives will help keep my students engaged and actively part of the lesson. These materials will make it possible for our class to have enough materials for the entire class and make it easier for my students to be engaged in the lesson and to engage in hands-on learning.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus during math, you will help to make math more engaging and ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

In the past, I have had to worry about having enough materials to teach a lesson to my entire class, these materials would make it possible to focus on teaching the students and keeping them engaged instead of figuring out what to don't have enough materials.

Students will be able to use these materials to maximize their learning and to demonstrate their understanding of math concepts.
