I teach 4th grade in South Carolina to a group of students who are eager to learn new skills daily. Their joy for learning is seen through their creative projects, intellectual conversations and debates, and their excitement during lessons and activities. Although this can be seen during instruction in all subjects, it can especially be seen during reading. They love to take off their shoes and immerse themselves in a great book. I teach at a school where literacy and reading is highly valued. We use the Accelerated Reading Program to motivate students to read and comprehend what they are reading daily. Competition to earn the most points is at an all time high. By far, reading is their favorite subject and the best performance area. Despite the achievement in reading, my students struggle with math. Math achievement is not where it should be. Thus, my students need math materials that will help them overcome their deficiencies.
