My Students

I'm trying to break student habits of counting on fingers when they add and subtract. They even include their NOSE in the calculation! I don't want to walk into a store in the future and see my former students using such outrageous methods! Students needs to master the basic number operations skills.

I teach second grade in an urban area where parents are struggling to make ends meet.

We have recent immigrants from many countries (Somalia, Burma, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia). The need is great for materials to supplement our math program. I especially want my students to have flashcards they can take home to study. They love homework! Children need hands-on materials and opportunities for repetition. I use the money budgeted for supplies for paper and pencils each year. Very little is left over for other essentials. I consider flashcards as essentials if our students are to progress beyond counting on their fingers. If each student had his/her own flashcards, they could test teach other, help their younger brothers and sisters and participate in math fact classroom contests with proficiency and speed as desired consequences.

My Project

You will make such a difference in our students' lives. We stress everyday that our students do their best. With the proper assistance, our students can be the bright lights of the future. We need to provide students with the opportunity to master basic math skills.

My students love to learn and help each other.

By having the flashcards at home, they can practice with parents, siblings, uncles, aunts and grandparents. They can even teach their younger brothers and sisters. Students love to be successful and having these teaching and learning aids will help them master essential math skills.
