Completed: Let the Math Games Begin!

Teaching such a diverse group of students can be very rewarding, yet at the same time quite a challenge. As their teacher I work hard to provide a quality education for all of my students, but due to the economy our funds are somewhat limited.

I would like to provide my students with these learning games in order to give them the opportunity to experience hands on practice in our math skills and at the same time keep them interested in Math. I don't want my students leaving my class talking about how boring it was. I want them to be having so much fun learning, that they don't want to leave.

Your help will make it possible for me to reach so many more of my students, as they will be experiencing math in a positive way. Together we can show my students Math can be a fun and rewarding adventure.

My students need a 24 Game Multipy and Divide set, an Intermediate Math Game Series and a Mastering Math Skills Classroom Pack.

Dear Mary Clare, Kristen and Anonymous Donor,

My students and I wish to thank you for your generous contributions. I am teaching math for the first time this year, and my class really appreciates the hands on materials.We have been using the games everyday to supplement our curriculum.

Hands on materials are so very important in reaching students. They have come to see math as fun thanks to your generostiy.Our school like so many others are facing budget crunches and you have made it possible for us to receive tools we would otherwise have to do without.

Without donors like you students might never see how much fun learning can be.

With gratitude,
Mrs. S.

Dear Mary Clare, Kristen and Anonymous Donor,

Thank you so much for funding our project, my students are so excited. They can hardly wait to begin playing the games. I am sure that these games will give them the extra boost they need to learn these abstract math concepts. Math will be much more fun now thanks to your generosity.

We will be enjoying these items for many years to come. It is because of people like you that our students receive the tools they need to succeed. Once again thanks for caring about educating our young people.

With gratitude,
Mrs. S.
