My Students

Do you remember your high school math class? Did math come to you easily? Did you spend hours reviewing your notes and still not understand? I am creating interactive notebooks with my students for them to use in class and when studying to help them understand what is taught.

My students are in a high poverty school.

Over 90% of our students receive free or reduced price lunch. It is difficult to get them to school and even harder to get them here with supplies ready to learn. Once they enter my classroom, my focus is on them. Many can not afford the basic supplies to assist their learning. Many of them had me last year and many more did not. They will be learning geometry and algebra preparing for their End Of Course Exam and I want to give them a study tool.

My Project

I am creating an interactive notebook with my students. They just need the basic supplies. This project is for the pens and whiteboard markers. These resources will give students the tools to take notes and to demonstrate understanding on the board. The most important part of the notebook is for students to use it. My goal is to teach them the skills to learn using the tools they have with the hope that they will go on to college knowing how to take notes and study in their math classes. Please support us in our learning.

These students need the tools to learn and they need to know how to use the tools they are given.

I am committed to teaching them the how, but I need your help with the supplies. Please help them with some of the basic needs in the classroom.
