Learning Lift off in Legoland

My students need 7 Lego sets to complete hands-on math and science investigations.

Ms. K.
Grades 6-8

Each morning I greet a group of students who come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Many of my students are struggling to cope with the multifaceted dilemmas of living in extreme poverty. Some of my students have experienced more than I can imagine in their short 12 years. Nearly all of my students are several years behind in math and science, failing to meet state standards. Yet, these students have so much to offer our classroom community. From the student that consistently strives for excellence in spite of his different learning abilities to the student that is able to make us all laugh, each of these students has unique qualities that I hope to develop in the coming year. It’s these students that motivate me to go to work each morning, compelling me with their stories and capturing my heart with their willingness to persevere amongst rampant injustices.

The students in my class are achieving anywhere from second to fifth grade and need the tools to help them understand sixth grade math concepts. My students love math games and will enthusiastically explore mathematical concepts if they are presented in the form of a game.

In our classroom we are working hard to "beat the numbers!" "What numbers?" you might ask. We are working hard to beat the daunting statistics that our students face. Nine-year-olds growing up in low-income communities are already three grade levels behind their peers in high-income communities. Half of them won't graduate from high school by the time they're 18. I invite you to join us in this struggle, to help give these 39 students growing up in a small rural town in Hawaii a fighting chance at success. I invite you to help empower these 39 amazing students to achieve their potential.

My students need materials for Lego education projects. Materials include items such as Legos and Lego education supplies. These materials are essential to differentiating learning, to meet the varied needs of my kinesthetic learners. In addition, my students love to play with Legos and will be excited to use them as a learning tool.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
