My Students
Our school was severely damaged by Hurricane Harvey, so now we are housed at our local high school. Even before the hurricane, our students faced many adversities because of their low socioeconomic status. Many of my students families had a difficult time meeting their daily basic needs. Despite my students' obstacles, they are great kids and still strive to be successful. Their efforts are many times thwarted because we don't have a variety of instructional materials available to us. Even with the lack of basic supplies, we still strive to be the best. Hurricane Harvey hit us but it didn't kill us.
My Project
After Hurricane Harvey, our students were really discourage about learning. They felt very unwanted and over looked. So, I want to give them a classroom where they feel important and loved. We need basic supplies like pencils in the classroom in order to complete daily assignments. Math is a tough subject and most of our students are below grade level. Using interactive games such basic math facts cards, puzzles and bumper cars game as new ways to learning old material without feeling discouraged. It is very challenging to instruct children and expect them to give their best efforts when they feel like no one cares. I also want to give them a classroom where their learning can be both fun and hands on by using the tablets for math apps and engaging using the games to play fun interactive math puzzles that both strengthens and challenge their learning.
With technology being on the rise in the classroom, there are endless ways to making math fun.
As a reward system my students want snacks to reward their positive behavior and learning improvements. So when my students succeed, they will have some of their favorite snacks to choose from such as airheads, rice krispies, gummy snacks and etc. All people are more motivated when they know their hard work will be acknowledged and rewarded. However, these items can become costly. I want to make learning fun and exciting for all my students, however it is discouraging when they feel that no one cares about their education and making sure they have what they need and want to succeed. Your generous donations will help motivate students to work hard in the classroom.
