My Project
Aloha, COVID-19 has created humongous gaps in the foundational skills of our students here at Kealakehe Intermediate School. Not only do our students struggle with understanding the core fundamentals of mathematics; COVID-19 has caused their mental health to suffer as well.
Since COVID-19 has passed, I have noticed that students have significantly more success when they are motivated by a reward that they actually value.
I have also noticed that students are more likely to participate and be successful when they have the opportunity to express themselves creatively and freely.
Therefore, I am requesting these items to introduce a "Creativity Corner" that will give students extra motivation to value the time we have in the classroom, and heal both the educational and mental damage that we all experienced from COVID-19.
The iPad and Keyboard will be used for students to take personality and skill assessments while exploring future career options via the Find Your Grind curriculum that we recently gained access to at the DOE, access educational applications that will enhance their learning experience, build math skills, and get more familiar with technological tools that they will need to know how to use for the remainder of their lives.
The sharpies and the sketchbooks will be also be used as an award for students to draw, make lists, and express themselves in the Creativity Corner. The pencil bag will be used to keep the sharpies in a safe, organized place that is easily accessible.
More than half of students from low‑income households
