The students I work with at our school can be described as eager to learn through active experience. Some students come to me with little background knowledge or experiences with technology and experiences outside of our community. They are best motivated to become active in class activities when they are given opportunities to work with concrete examples versus abstract materials. This is why having materials for them to manipulate is so important!
The area my students come from is a rural, close knit community.
Many of them live within walking distance of the school. Many of their parents may have even attended the very same school when they were children.
This demonstrates that the heritage in this community is strong, and loyal. It also demonstrates that many of my students do not travel far from home. I want to give them the world to explore, right from my classroom! Thanks for partnering with me in this endeavor.
My Project
My students will love these engaging, hands-on tools as they rotate through math and science stations. These station activities, including Math in a Flash! Discovery Cans and a Force & Motion Activity Tub, will reinforce their lessons as I work with small groups for intervention and enrichment. Each math and science skill kit has specialized activities and materials that will inspire the students to eagerly dive into math and science. When my students have these kinds of materials available to them they are more successful, which increases their confidence to tackle new skills.
The happy sounds of math and science stations excites students and educators alike.
Please help us get on board and head out on this journey!
