My students have always been a rich, diverse mix of different cultures, who all come together with one common goal: to learn. Going to school in an urban setting, they come from all manner of backgrounds and walks of life to learn as a community. As a special education teacher, it is imperative that I offer differentiation into the classroom because many of my students are academically years behind.
We hope to have art materials and new technology to encourage our alternative ways of learning mathematics for this changing global economy.
It will not do them justice to just give them packets of worksheets to complete. They need differentiated teacher instruction to help guide them through necessary skills.
My Project
My students love to incorporate technology in the classroom. I want them to be able to create a writing piece or math problems with pictures and clip art and to be able to print these in color to show to their classmates and to put on the bulletin boards to show off to parents and the school. Decorating the classroom with student work is so empowering!
Having a color printer with ink in the classroom will help us create class books with color pictures that the students have created.
Future students will be able to read these books for years to come. Also, students can create math books and bring these math books to life by printing their pages in color. With your help we can make this happen.
Having a printer in the math classroom will allow many art projects to reach their full potential, and enhance students learning of technology and how it may be incorporated into their mathematics.
