My Project

My students struggle in reading, writing and math. If given a motivating task they will work hard and put to work the skills that they struggle in to complete the task. to put their academic knowledge into action. They get bored easily when reading and need a purpose and reason. When given an activity, experiment or project they are more inclined to put more effort into reading.

My students work harder to learn and apply academics than any other students in the school.

When my students are expected to complete a project or experiment by reading, they will be more motivated to read the expected information. They love projects and experiments, so using these experiments to further hone their reading skills will really help them grow in comprehension, vocabulary, fluency and basic reading skills.

My students also struggle to work well with others. They tend to shut down, get angry and not deal with their anger in a safe manner. When interested in a project and expected to work with another they will learn better social skills as they learn how to complete the experiments and activities that Donors Choose will provide.
