My Students

My students are participating in a special program within our school. Our Title I school serves about nine hundred diverse students. We also house many special programs. One of the special programs we offer is for gifted learners. This program has around three hundred students in grades six through eight, and I teach about one hundred and fifty-five of them. I have the unique opportunity to teach advanced math to sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students. I strongly believe good math skills will open up doors for my students to do anything they want in the future.

My students enjoy learning and look forward to being exposed to new material.

They are inquisitive, hardworking, and are always looking for new challenges. My students also love to play fun and interesting games in their free time and like to give back to the community. All of my kids have enjoyed the extras I can give them because of donors like you. They are always amazed at how lucky they are to have such wonderful items that enhance their learning. They have been excited about all of the community service projects and kindness acts we have done throughout the school.

My Project

It would be nice to add a new blue CatchBox with an upgraded charging station. This will definitely cut down on battery usage! The CatchBox makes our classroom more fun and interactive. It gets the kids moving as we go about our lessons. Having another Box option will make for more turn taking fun that won’t burn up our battery usage. Two is better than one:)

The CatchBox creates an atmosphere of movement in middle school.

The kids can throw and catch a big item in the classroom and it is actually allowed! It help keep them motivated and active at the same time. This allows us to incorporate gym and fitness into our math lessons during the day. Since we have long classes, sometimes catching a few CatchBoxes wakes you up:) Thanks for thinking about my students with your donations.
