My students need colored pencils, Post-It notes, resealable bags, index cards, book rings, tape, and bins to complete their interactive notebooks for math and science.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Let's face it, textbooks are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Students' class work and notes are replacing them, but my students are struggling to keep it all organized!!
My students come from a small town in rural South Carolina.
They are bright but many of them do not have the simple supplies to help them be successful in the classroom. They attend a very diverse school, where students come from all different backgrounds. Some are rich, middle class, and some are poor. Their parents are married, divorced, or adoptive and living in a range of neighborhoods, farms, or apartments.
My Project
My students need colored pencils, Post-It notes, resealable bags, index cards, book rings, tape, and bins to complete their interactive notebooks for math and science. With our resources to create interactive notebooks, my students will be able to create a personalized textbook for them to demonstrate their knowledge gained from classroom instruction and activities. They will use creative ways to show their thinking and record clear notes that I supply them with. The students will also develop their organizational skills through maintaining the order of the notebook, as well as plan study strategies, document learning, and track their success. This in turn will also be utilized by the parent. They will be able to see what is being taught in the classroom and how their student is comprehending concepts.
This project will have a lasting impact on my students because it will be the beginning of some of the most important habits in their life: organization, responsibility, and reflection.
