My Project

My students come from an underserved population. I need to ensure their progress to become independent thinkers so they can be an asset to their community. I have the best job in the world, to make a difference. Each day, I have the privilege of instructing students in core subjects. I want them to solve real life problems and come up with solutions for daily problem-solving.

We need Kids LCD tablets to bring the math skills up to par and improve their grades for this academic year.

We will be excited to learn to fully participate and learn how to do science and math, and succeed in school while being ready for the challenges ahead and being able to compete with a leveled playing field.

It is important for developing early concepts, as many students lag on basic math and science skills during virtual learning. I wish to encourage students' participation during these stressful times. These materials are going to be used daily to keep students engaged. They are going to be great resources for in-person learning where all students will be participating as a group and learning!

We will be excited to learn about math, do challenging tasks, and solve puzzles to boost critical thinking, speed, and accuracy to help math skills become second nature! My students feel as if it is too challenging and stressful to learn and be on task. These materials will make school a lot of fun and keep them engaged and motivated.
