My Project

These kids are inspired and learning through their struggles. They're working together, supporting each other, and trying their hardest every day. We know that no brain works the same. Education has put a lot of energy into figuring out how to grow kids' reading skills but not as much into math skills. Every year I am building a program that keeps kids curious, engaged and excited about learning their math skills, especially those kids who are on the verge of giving up. I need some new stations for practicing math skills. The math discovery cans will help students get targeted practice with fractions, decimals, multiplication, division, and more. We need yoga chairs and comfortable lighting to help build a warm, inviting environment that will help my kids stay calm, focused, and engaged. I wish you could see how much my students have grown over the last few years. Thank you for supporting our work and making a real difference in kids' lives.
