My students are great kids who work hard. They are still young adolescents. They come from many different home situations and that can be tough in junior high. They are all individual thinkers and are constantly asking questions. They are at the beginning phases of collaboration and learning to work together and respect new ideas. At school we see positive things happen. We work hard to make students feel welcome and supported. We try to encourage working together and kindness.
My Project
We have been making math a hands-on learning experience.
When we use these experiences to learn through the rest of the year, it makes math memorable and helps us retain what we have learned.
We will be turning the shower curtains into a giant graph that students can stand on and see what they are learning. Students can see how transformations work on a giant graph.
Students will be using the silhouette items to make their own manipulatives. They can design and cut their own dice, etc.
Students will be using the locks to add to our escape the classroom lock game. We have collected locks and hope to use these new locks to extend what we have.
The computer mice will help my students be able to use their cloudbooks more effectively.
