Striving for Excellence in Math

My Project

Everyday when I go into my classroom, my heart melts when I see my students. Even on my worst days, my students cheer me up instantly. They excite me during instruction time especially when that little light bulb goes off when they have retained a teaching strategy that I have taught. The thought of them getting excited and engaged in teaching and learning gives me so much joy.

I feel so much love for them and want to see them grow.

I incorporate math games during instruction time because I've noticed that it gets them more engaged and excited about math learning. I allow them to go to the treasure box and get a small gift or snack to motivate them to persevere even when they don't understand.

Unfortunately, during the tornado storms, some students' homes were damaged and they lost everything. They do not have the supplies that they need on a day to day basis. The storms have caused many families monies for cleanup and recovery that they can't provide school supplies for their children. Just the thought of being able to help provide supplies for my students means a lot. It will help turn a frown to a smile on my student's little faces.

If funded, these supplies with help students have paper and pencil to complete their assignments and math drills. The folders will help them be more organized and keep up with all their material.
