I teach biology in the large high school in Southern California. As with so many schools, funding has been completely cut back, and class sizes are on the rise. One of my primary focuses, other than teaching content, is to make this class one in which all students learn and grow to reach their own individual potential.
My students are athletes, scholars, artists, workers, gifted, challenged, affluent, and impoverished.
Finding common ground for all these characteristics is one of my favorite challenges to undertake.
Your generous donation will be an integral part of achieving this project and closing the achievement gap for all students. Thank you in advance for your support!
My Project
Students in high school don't have recess anymore. That does not mean that the advantages of recess, like social interaction and stress management are no longer necessary.
Students learn best when they are relaxed and feel at-home in the classroom.
Your donation will outfit my classroom with a variety of board and card games. This resource is definitely not one that our budget would ever enable me to provide to my students, but it will serve as that occasional, necessary break from the stress of high school. In the past, I have offered game time to students after a day of particular good behavior, or to the class after they performed well on an assessment. Recess is still important...even to my high school students!
