My students come from high poverty, low socioeconomic backgrounds. Many of them live in low-income apartments. One hundred percent of them qualify for government assistance and the federal free lunch program. Many of them are English language learners and speak English as a second language. However, these barriers do not discourage their love for learning!
My students come to school every day excited and ready to improve their reading and writing.
Their parents are very concerned about their children's education to provide them with a better life. Although my students are disadvantaged in so many ways, you would never know it by their positive attitudes and eagerness to learn.
My Project
One of the biggest concepts taught in third grade is multiplication. Finding ways to teach it can always be tricky. One of my favorite things to use are LEGos
Children learn best when doing hands-on activities.
These LEGO type blocks will be used in groups to demonstrate multiplication arrays. Then blocks can be added or subtracted to show multiplication facts. Division can also be demonstrated by starting with a large group and dividing them by the pegs on the blocks. Limitless math concepts can be demonstrated by use of the simple and fun block.
Thank you so much for your interest in my project and for your continuing support of public education.
