My Students
My students are eager to learn, prompt to attend, and unique in their approach to the world around them. Although my students have a variety of challenges, they overcome them on a daily basis to succeed in the classroom and in their communities. My students are taught in a technology-rich environment and are being prepared to be successful in an ever-changing world.
I work with 5th-grade students in the Columbus, GA area.
My students represent a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds and demographics. They are all uniquely equipped to perform different tasks in a variety of ways given their academic abilities and specific interests.
I am encouraged by their tenacity on a daily basis to rise above their individual challenges to achieve. They thrive through the use of varied teaching strategies.
My Project
Resources like the fraction games and flip charts will help my student learn how to visualize fractions using real-world examples and apply their knowledge in a variety of ways. It will help improve their test scores in the area of math.
Having students from various backgrounds, learning abilities and processing differences requires a classroom environment that is both flexible and well equipped.
The various fraction and measurement resources will allow students with different learning strengths to achieve an improved level of comprehension in the subject and confidence in their math calculations.
The previous year's data showed a weakness in the area of math, particularly Fractions and these resources will help my students overcome the knowledge gaps in this area that is posing an issue.
I will be able to group students and allow them to explore the resources in small collaborative groupings to extend their learning beyond what they would be able to glean from a large group, direct instruction scenario.
