Help me give my students take-home Christmas math kit that consists of a dry-erase marker, a variety of dice for math games, playing cards for more math games, and laminated math game boards.
Being a second year teacher of fifth graders, my students come from a very diverse rural community. Our school boundaries include a Native American reservation and large Hispanic population. Our community also has a large National Guard influence, which employs many parents and guardians of my students.
Although my students are diverse, they are a close knit team where they help each other learn and grow while respecting each others individual diverseness.
Our theme this year is being a "HERO" with superpowers that are more attainable such as being a friend, being a buddy, not a bully, or even, a good listener.
I look forward to making our classroom a safe healthy learning environment where resilient students can safely make mistakes while learning and growing.
My Project
I created Merry X-Math last year and it was such a great success, I wanted to duplicate it again this year. I would like my students to have fun with their math skills that they have learned so far and continue to practice those skills throughout the rest of the year.
Math is not a spectator sport, is it a participant sport, and the more you practice the better you will get.
Using my laminator that I got last year I would like to laminate math board games filling their Poly Zip Pouches with the math die, playing cards, and dry-erase marker. They can spend time with their families over the holidays having fun but still practicing their math skills.
