Mr. Aubry from Trenton NJ is requesting other through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Increasing Cognitive Engagement With Projects

My students need a Whiteboard to work out problems for themselves, a bulletin board to post their good work on the wall and have a display for Project and Homework Requirements, and dry erase markers to use on the Whiteboard.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Bridging the Gap from Middle School Math Mediocrity to High School Math Accomplishment, Confidence and Creativity. I am teaching a Breakthrough Program from the High Schools that Work Initiative of the Southern Regional Education Board that has been proven all across the country to make-a-difference for all students. This "Bridges to Algebra" class is being taught in a economically high-need, racially mixed community. I was specially trained this summer and throughout this upcoming year I have a great mentor to co-create with. I have the support of my administration, the students are super responding to this here in NJ.

We need your help. We need supplies, material and equipment. I have a 405 square foot room for 20 students with a 85 year old "black board" that has holes on it and you never can erase what was there before. I have no place to project onto with my overhead projector. They are fearless, they love to come to the board and show their work, draw diagrams and explain and present their solutions to our math-lab problems.

We need one really big white board to cover the ancient and defunct "black board" that we can work on and use as our overhead screen. We need other white boards that we can use around them room so different teams can compete in class. We need a bulletin board to post all their great work up on the wall to motivate, acknowledge and inspire them. We need dry erase markers and such to use these white boards.

Your help will be wildly received. In a community full of despair, hopelessness and tragedy of drugs and gangs they will have faith that people care about them. You will be giving them the supplies to match their enthusiasm for learning. You will be empowering them to live a great life and move on to college and beyond. Turn potential into possibility into accomplishment. I guarantee our letters of thanks will be real and timely.
