My Project
I work with 7th-grade middle school students who are far below grade level in both reading and math and lack the basic skills necessary for them to advance into later grades. For years, they have been stuck at the same developmental levels.
With your help and support, in providing the needed tools, I will be better equipped to address my student's specific lagging skills and break the cycle they are in.
For example, I am requesting various types of math manipulatives. I plan on using them to assist my struggling students in developing a concrete understanding of abstract concepts, improving engagement, and enhancing memory and retention. I also requested basic reading skill items. I plan on using them in conjunction with my current fluency program to help bridge their specific fluency gaps. For example, I requested tactile letters. These cards will be extremely useful for my students struggling to move letter knowledge into their long-term memories.
Thank you so much for your help and support in breaking the cycle!
