This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
We are a dual-immersion classroom with children who learn in two languages: English and Spanish or English and French. The students are easily engaged and love coming to school. About 50 percent of our children come from low-income homes. Our school is located in the nation's capital. Students who attend this public charter school learn to think, read, write, speak, and listen in English/Spanish or English/French. Students are talented scholars, engaged learners, and love school! We will need to start the New Year with New Tools, Materials and Classroom Resources!
My Project
Imaginative play meets math and science. Having the magna tiles and wipe and erase board will inspire the next generation of lifelong learners, makers and creators. The goal is to foster learning through play while explore geometric shapes and having the ability to write/draw it out in a new fun way!
Learning shapes, especially geometric ones is a key component in understanding how the world is built around us.
Magna Tiles will help create a 3D understanding to buildings and construction. The write and wipe board can be used to individual students to practice drawing the shapes they have built on their own. The goal is to enter a new way of learning through play.
