My students come to school with a natural curiosity, creativity, and an eagerness to learn. Our classroom is a learning environment where students are ready to explore new concepts.
The sixth graders in my class thrive when given the opportunity to share ideas, be creative, and participate in hands-on learning experiences.
They are a diverse group with a variety of different learning styles. Finding new ways to engage them and deepen understandings can be a challenge. Therefore, I feel confident that these materials will help me meet all of their needs while creating a fun, yet challenging learning environment.
My Project
Having a bluetooth speaker will allow me to incorporate more music into my day. It may be used as calming music playing in the background, for games and energizers, or transition times.
One of my goals this year is to incorporate more music in the classroom to strengthen student learning and engagement.
The fraction bars and centimeter cube manipulatives will enhance my math curriculum by giving students more hands on learning opportunities. They include fractions, percentages, and decimals, which is a concept we must review all year long. The menu book will also help me create real word math opportunities and projects while differentiating for the needs of all my students.
