My Students

I am a fourth-grade teacher in an inner-city school in Massachusetts. Our students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with one hundred percent of our students receiving free breakfast and lunch. Our school is also one of the most ethnically diverse schools in the city where students speak a multitude of languages. As diverse as our students are economically and culturally, they are diverse in their academics.

My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn and excited for what is in store for them that day.

Many of my students receive backpack food on the weekend, and our school also runs a food pantry for our families. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.

My Project

My fourth graders are at various ability levels with their math skills, and all could benefit from engaging math games. These interactive games and manipulatives will aid immensely with math instruction. These games will provide students with interactive educational math experiences. The students will be able to practice and further develop their skills and understanding in number sense, algebraic thinking, geometry, etc. through these exciting educational games complete w/ stimulating and challenging practice activities and assessments. They will be having fun while further developing their math skills. These resources will help foster a love of math!

These materials will be an invaluable tool in math instruction in our classroom.

Students this year and in years to come will benefit immensely from these educational resources while further developing their math skills and understanding! Thank you in advance for considering donating to our project!
