Focusing for the Future!

Help me give my students the opportunity to focus when testing by providing them with test dividers and wobble chairs as well as the dry-erase markers and erasers to help with math engagement. Thank you in advance.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

What I love about my students is that they come to my class each day ready to engage in learning. What makes them special is that most of my students do not come from the typical supportive and motivating backgrounds, yet, they strive to give me 100% each day. Many of my students lack the available resources and tools needed to be successful in my math classroom so I often find myself trying to provide those necessary tools to help them be successful. Since many of my students have not been out of the city in which they live, I provide experiences in the form of transformations in my classroom to make our math lessons fun and engaging. Inside my classroom, I have taken my students to Hawaii, we have been construction workers, and had glow parties among other exciting adventures!

My Project

These materials will make a difference in my student's learning because the test dividers will allow the students to focus when testing or working individually on projects, which will minimize distractions. Since I do not currently have test dividers, we have to move the desks all around the classroom so students can be individually separated. I find that the constant moving of the desks causes a distraction before they even begin. In addition to this, the dry-erase markers and erasers will promote engagement in the classroom as we work on math problems. Thank you in advance for your help! I really appreciate it!
