About my class

I understand from experience, our remote learners need and deserve more....much more. My goal is to provide my students with robust, engaging and effective learning opportunities. How do these remote students gain access to materials, resources and quality instruction that they would have in the classroom? We need remote technology including a webcam and wireless drawing tablet, digital resources from Teachers Pay Teachers and manipulatives such as magnetic number bonds, ten frames, base-ten blocks and fraction models, to model LIVE lessons. These materials will help our remote learning community be successful with VIRTUAL learning, MATH, literacy and virtual classroom management. These resources will expand the children's learning practice and opportunities by supporting their access to real time lessons within a true virtual classroom. Teaching remotely without appropriate resources was frustrating for students, teachers and parents. Our students depend on visual models and examples for comprehension. The items will help support engaging live lessons and guided support from the teacher. Also, the Wacom tool serves a great resource for writing and modeling math problems, directions, and literacy. The webcam will help the students view clear live teaching and allow me to be a bit more mobile during video conferencing. The webcam allows for more flexibility throughout the at home teaching area between charts, posters and serves as an overall clear and more audible lesson presentation. Together, with my document camera and manipulatives, the students will have the visual models to understand and use strategies they are taught. Teachers Pay Teachers helped our learning community during the pandemic. The students enjoyed the ability to interact with digital resources in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. A gift card from TPT will allow me to purchase more interactive and fun products for our kiddos to practice the skills being taught in the virtual classroom. Thank you for your support of our SUPER 2nd Graders!
