Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

Math games excite children and, in turn, they help the children learn important math skills. One of my goals this year as a new first grade teacher, is too enrich my 90 minute math period with math games that children will play when they are done with their work. I am teaching at an underfunded DC public charter school near Columbia Heights and Adams Morgan. I do not have the means to buy the materials to start these games in my classroom. I am requesting big math cards, dot dice, a class Tangram set, a money set, and addition/subtraction set, and number lines for my wonderful class of first graders. I will use the materials to teach my children games and to enrich math period. I want my children to have a strong foundation in math. Children's excitement for math and their experience with math in the early grades are predictors of their future successes in math. I am writing this proposal because I am dedicated to the education system in DC and I believe we must be able to equally fund and support all children's education.
