Each year, the beginning of the school year often is accompanied by deadly and tragic wildfires across the Bay Area. This is accompanied by hazardous smoke that can last for weeks on end, and heat waves that make learning or teaching incredibly challenging. This year, fire season comes on top of an already deadly COVID 19 pandemic. As their math teacher, I have a responsibility to deliver core content to them in consistent and meaningful ways. For now, while we are doing distance learning, that means that I must teach from campus, where there is reliable internet. Our building gets quite hot, and without an effective air conditioner, it is not a healthy environment to work in. By donating to our project, you not only guarantee an effective place for me to teach my students from, but you gift my students with a classroom they can learn math comfortably in when we return to school. One can not learn effectively when breathing in smoky air or distracted and exhausted by the heat. This project will greatly improve the lives of my students, this year and beyond.
