Make Learning Stick with Stickynotes

My students need sticky notes. For each student to get 1 sticky note per school day, we would need 32,400 sticky notes.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Sometimes when you leave the classroom, the information just doesn't stick. My students need an opportunity at the end of each class day to think about what they've learned. A sticky note system to help make the learning stick would do that.

My students are from an urban area in Texas, a neighborhood where poverty pervades.

Drop-outs are high, often because their problems at home take precedent over learning at school. Transfer of knowledge from class to class or from day to day seems to be a problem.

My Project

Since my students sometimes have such are hard time remembering their learning from day to day, I want to set up a system so that students have a chance to think about their learning at the end of each class period. For systems to work, we need to be organized. All we need are sticky notes, but we need lots of them. For each student to have one sticky note per day for the whole school year would require more than 30,000 sticky notes.

The formal education term for what we are doing is metacognition, or in other words- thinking about your thinking.

It is a step that is critical to learning and especially important for students who are trying to learn in poverty. We need sticky notes so our learning will stick.
