It's time to do away with outdated Math books! My students need to be engaged and invested in my math instruction by creating a colorful, interactive resource they will use all year.
I have twenty-seven active fourth graders who thrive on fresh approaches to instruction.
There are fourteen boys and thirteen girls from a wide-range of backgrounds. I had twenty of them last year as third graders and will take this group all the way through fifth grade. Many come from homes that struggle to make it day to day. However, my students always come to school ready to work. They are a special group of learners who challenge me to be better every day!
My Project
At the beginning of the year, a significant number of students did not bring the necessary school supplies. The extra supplies I had purchased, went to those students and I am now out of extra supplies. I can purchase more but Interactive Notebooks (INBs) require more than I can afford.
Knowing that I will be looping with my students to 5th grade as well, I began looking for new approaches in teaching math. I discovered that a few of my district's middle schools started using INBs within the last five years and have seen a huge increase in their student achievement. To provide my students the best chance of being successful in middle school, I want to begin using INBs in my classroom now.
The supplies I am requesting all serve a specific purpose in creating Interactive Notebooks for Math.
