Bringing Math and Writing to Life!

Help me give my students fun and new ways to solve real world math problems with the manipulative library, folder games, and magna tiles. The Frixion pens will allow writing to be more fun and creative.

My Students

My students are independent, creative, helpful, humorous, and willing to learn. I love working with this age group because I can give instructions and know that they will be followed while I work with small groups or individual students.

I'm constantly trying new ways of teaching in my class and my students are very responsive to the different methods.

I am fully aware that not all students learn the same way so we do our best to make sure all students have an optimal learning environment.

Students need to be able to move and create in order to learn. They need visual and auditory in order to understand some of the more difficult concepts.

Although covid has limited leaning for students all around the world mine students continue to persevere through this difficult and uncertain time. I think it's time they have a little more fun with learning and remember that hard work can be fun as well.

My Project

All students can us a little pick-me-up. New supplies adds new life to learning and get students excited and involved once again. It gives them new ways to look at things and the opportunity to continue to learn and push through difficult concepts.

Math manipulatives help students see the why and how behind the math formulas they are asked to solve.

By allowing them to explore and create they are more willing to learn and solve these problems they have previously deemed "unimportant".

I also love giving my students fun new ways to be creative with writing and giving them fun pens and pencils really give them the power in their finger tips to explore those creative juices floating around in their brains. I can't wait to see what my students will discover and explore along their learning journey.
