Make Math Meaningful With Small Group Instruction

Help me give my students time for math stations. The small group pocket chart will make it easier for students to know what to work on while I do mini lessons. The buttons will have oral instructions.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gagen's classroom raised $391

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

By donating to our class project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students perform better when they have a strong foundation. Small group instruction and math stations are vital in increasing math fluency and comprehension.

Students will be able to practice and explore math topics while I work on individualized math skills with small groups.

My second grade students will be able to build a strong foundation which builds self-confidence for math success in the upper grades.
