Because of your contributions, I am able to remain focused on student growth and finding the answer to every math problem instead of the everyday little things like pencils, charged chromebooks, or extra copies. It is because of your donations that I can create the visuals that help my students remember and understand the content.\r\n\r\nMath was not my favorite subject when I was in 7th grade, and I know it isn't my students' favorite subject most of the time. I know that your donations have helped me bring some of the fun back into math. Your donations purchased a color printer for my room that was able to print interactive math tacos. My students LOVE tacos, so when they were struggling to understand combining like terms, I created tacos for them. Each ingredient was a different part of the taco and expression: lettuce was the x2 term, taco meat was the x term, cheese was the y term and tomatoes were the constants. The students were given a list of expressions to create using their tacos. The students were able to connect that you can't \"mix ingredients\" before they're on the taco because of allergies. This helped them to build the understanding that you can only combine things that are the same. They made tacos for the better part of one class period. For some students, it was the light bulb moment that all teachers crave. For other students, it remains a learning process; however, even my struggling students ask for the taco manipulatives to work on their understanding of combining like terms. They enjoyed the activity and admitted that it will just take time to understand. In that one activity, we used the printer, laminating sheets, and pencils that were provided by your generous donations. I know for that single class period, Math was their favorite subject and they had fun. \r\n\r\n7th grade students are kids and still learning how to be responsible for their own items. Even adults struggle with remembering everything all of the time. Your donations helped make sure that my students have the ability to learn while having consequences for their mistakes. In my class, that looks like leaving a shoe at the front of my classroom so they can borrow one of my chargers, pencils or whatever they need. I'm not going to let any of my students not have what they need to complete my class, but I am also going to make sure that I keep my items available for other students to use. While a shoe seems like a crazy request, the students think it is just silly enough to engage in it, but just strong enough to not want to be walking around in their socks. It works! At first I had a good amount of people having to turn in their shoes for pencils and chargers, but now I have one or two a week. \r\n\r\nStudents will always be my first priority and with your donations, I have been able to keep them as such. This was my first Donor's Choose Project, but because of the success I have had with it, I know I will be creating more Donor's Choose Projects. It is the best feeling to be supported by people both close to my heart and anonymously while I work every day to help students understand how Math gives us hope for every problem to have an answer.","fullyFundedDate":1753031212278,"projectUrl":"project/math-shows-us-that-every-problem-has-an/9446799/","projectTitle":"Math Shows Us That Every Problem Has an answer","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Birr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9057932_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751743104127","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9057932"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48486","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":845,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":65.5,"schoolId":48486,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Coweta Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Coweta Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/coweta-county-school-district/east-coweta-middle-school/48486"}
