My Students

My students are amazing! They all love to learn. We just do not have materials to expand our classroom where I am a first-year teacher. My students work hard and try their very best. The students can perform great in class. We just need the materials and supplies to whip our class into shape. My students will really benefit from these supplies because we live in a low-income county. The students can build their minds with more learning. This is my first year teaching and as a teacher, I can really see these students' minds growing.

My Project

The requested caddies and bins will help my students have quick and easy access to having help with math by using their manipulatives. I use math manipulatives for almost every math lesson I teach. When planning my lessons, I think of ways that the concepts can be explained using visuals, as well as orally or on a chart. I prep tools ahead of time so they are ready for our lessons. I vary the tools for students to get practice using different types. During our lessons, math manipulatives are used usually during or after the initial lesson is taught. I will explain a concept, give examples on a chart, practice orally, and demonstrate with math manipulatives. Students use those manipulatives to practice the concept or solve a problem.
