This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
This year, my students are fully remote. My students are faced with several challenges, both in and out of the classroom. My special education students learn best through hands-on activities and in small groups, which they love! Regardless of these challenges, they still come online every morning eager and ready to learn! Although I may not be able to control their home life, I can definitely control their experience during the day!
My students continue to inspire me to do more to help them reach their potential!
My Project
Teaching from home has been a huge change for myself and my students. It was a lot of trial and error to see how to best reach my students and keep them engaged in online learning. They quickly fell in love with BOOM cards. Boom cards are digital, highly interactive task cards for students to solve.
What is so great about these cards is that students are engaged throughout each set of skills.
They are able to practice multiplication, place value, fractions, and so much more. Currently, I buy them from the Teachers Pay Teachers website. My students love working on these skills and I love providing them with an interactive activity. However, it can be expensive for me to buy these cards daily.
I am asking for a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to buy sets of BOOM cards that I can assign to my students now and also use next year. I will be able to assign the students a set of cards related to a standard we are working on. Please think of helping my third graders strengthen their math fluency from home! Fluency is a fundamental part of math!
