My Project

My students are eager to learn and love to be exposed to different ways of learning. This group is special because they all learn at different paces and in different ways. These items will allow me to provide more interactive options for them to learn and grow as learners and critical thinkers. The numbers match, number pattern match, word problems match and addition and subtraction power will allow students to work independently, practice foundation skills, and can have instant feedback. The magnetic letters will help with word building. Chain reaction and marbIe run will be used as games where they are able to see what they make and if it works. If not will encourage them to try again. The Magna tile can be added to the class set which will allow students to build larger projects. I will use these items for small group instruction and when they are at recess or have some downtime, the activities can provide them an option to play and at the same time learn and be creative.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
