My students are young pre-teens who struggle with various obstacles: from disabilities to English as a New Language. They are eager to learn but need different tool to do so, tools that are not traditional in classrooms, but should be!
My students are kind, creative and wonderful.
They deserve more than I and the school can give them. But, because of a lack of funding they don't always get the experiences, tools and resources they need to grow. My students are curious and kinesthetic learners--they need to move and create.
My Project
My students do not have enough access to engaging and rewarding materials that allow them to take a break. Further, they need an extrinsic to keep them on task and focused. That is why I created this project!
Students in my classroom have diverse needs.
My students need high interest materials like the BB-8 to help keep them focused. Having this kind of reward is both educational and fun! They need objects in the manipulatives that are both a reward and a break. These manipulatives allow them to take a break and feel rewarded for their hard work and effort. Adults can take breaks as needed throughout their day and find ways to reward themselves. But, for many students this is not an option. I hope to give them the tools they need to be on task and rewards to help them make the right choices.
