My students are a diverse group of ambitious and enthusiastic learners from Eastern North Carolina who work hard daily to achieve the goals that we set for ourselves. As a teacher in a low-income and high-poverty school district, my students face many challenges in and out of the classroom.
These students come to school every day eager to learn and ready to put forth their best effort in the classroom.
We are still reeling from the effects that Covid-19 has had on our country, our school, our students, and their learning. However, day by day, things are getting a little better. Our way of learning may not be what we want it to be, but we are making the best of it during this time of uncertainty.
My Project
Warcub is our name and collaborative task carding is our game! Task cards provide a great way to present information in small chunks and increase student engagement specifically for our English Language Learners and Special Needs students. When it comes time to practice the many math and science concepts that my students have to learn this year, they look forward to the opportunity to collaborate on various activities with a partner or in a group using task cards.
When they are in their collaborative group station rotations, I found that using different colored paper works best to differentiate the cards to engage the various learning styles and needs of my students.
Task cards provide a wonderful alternative to traditional worksheets and task cards on colored paper make them even more fun!
