Bright colored murals, beautiful garbs, fresh fruits and vegetables at the corner market and the smell of delicious Indian food coming from the nearby kitchen. This is the environment my students live in. Parkchester is a beautiful neighborhood that embodies the Indian culture. Unfortunately, my school, is in a low income neighborhood. Many of my students, a diverse mix of cultures too, attend a school that strives to give these eager students who are ready to learn an excellent education. Many of them are a first generation American and are excited to begin school!
My Project
Can you think of a better way to engage my students than having them have their own white board paddle! These paddles can be a great learning tool in my classroom! How cool would it be for each student to have their own paddle to write their answers in a fun game of Jeopardy. Or when their quizzing each other on their multiplication facts! These paddles will also help me assess whether students are understanding the material being learned.
Lets give paper and pencil a rest and have my students become more excited and engaged while working on the white boards!
