Help me give my students essential Math practice by using these sets from Lakeshore Learning; Grab & Match Money, Time & Measurement and Fraction Quickies, Problem Solving Cards, Giant Magnetic Regrouping Chart and Early Skills Game Library.
My students come from a rural background, many with great needs because of poverty. Many are displaced from the family home. The trauma that results from homelessness has a ripple effect throughout the district with direct impact in each classroom. My school district covers one hundred square miles of farmland and hills.
My school is filled with dedicated staff who work tirelessly to provide for the academic, emotional and nutritional needs of the students in our district.
Each day the students enter the building and receive healthy and nutritional meals and snacks to fuel the time in the classroom. We are a close family of friends who come to school for a safe place to learn.
My Project
Math is one of my most fun times when students have a variety of activities to choose from during their small group time. These kits from Lakeshore Learning will provide opportunities for students to practice essential skills in telling time and counting money which they need in every day life. Working fractions is also very abstract and this kit will provide visual representation of fractions to help with learning. The regrouping chart will provide a way for me to represent regrouping for addition and subtraction. Students will also be able to use this chart as they learn. Teachers are always asking for students to work on problem solving so that kit is really important to help students in that area. The game library will provide a variety of games for young learners to help solidify skills that they have have been introduced to in class.
Students need to have variety to maintain their interest level and engagement level.
The great thing about all of these kits and games is that students will be able to use them with or without being teacher led. These are student driven activities which provides opportunity for higher levels of learning for everyone.
