Help me give my students dry erase markers and erasers for our whiteboard tables, headphones for our computers, and new decorations to start a new year!
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.
My Students
New Haven, CT is a high poverty inner-city where most of our students fall far below the poverty line. My school is a Title 1 school in New Haven, CT where all children are eligible for free breakfast and lunch every day. The majority of the careers these students will have available to them will be STEM related.
In order to properly prepare these students for these careers, my students need to become fully engaged in their mathematics education as well as be able to collaborate with others.
We are proud members of a magnet school in an inner-city school district. We all work together to investigate various issues globally and locally through STEAM research. Students at our school are excited about learning and creating a community to be proud of.
My Project
My students each need their own headphones. We currently do not have enough headphones for every student in my class, and most of the headphones we do have are not in good condition. The headphones either only work on one side, or are taped at the end in order to work part of the time. A new set of headphones for our classroom is desperately needed!
My students need to be able to hear their own laptop and without headphones this is almost impossible.
Students use headphones to utilize our Math 180 program. Students can listen to question being read to them which helps them with comprehension of the skills being taught and the question being asked. Having headphones helps students hear much better and helps them complete their individual assignments. The markers and erasers will be use in conjunction with our whiteboard tables to work out the problems being given to them on Math 180.
