Movers and Shakers!

Help me give my students the opportunity for movement in the classroom by lap desks and clipboards where they can carry their materials along with them. My students love active and engaging lessons where they move about the room!

My Students

My students are thinkers and problem solvers. They are full of curiosity and love working collaboratively to solve problems in our project-based learning classroom. They are active, social, creative, and engaged when they get to work together to solve problems. As a STEM-focused school, we encourage collaboration and problem solving. Students come in daily excited to see what we are doing in class that day and ready to tackle problems as 21st-century learners.

My students represent a diverse range of backgrounds and have a variety of experiences to share in the classroom.

More than half receive free or reduced-priced lunch. We use our school garden and food pantry to send backpack snacks home with students over the weekends to ensure they have access to healthy food. School is their safe place and one where they know that they will have their needs met by caring and supportive teachers and staff. I serve a high poverty population and receive $275 a year to get the materials and supplies that I need to provide an engaging, hands-on classroom experience where learning math is fun and relevant for my 294 students.

My Project

I would like to make my classroom more active and mobile where students can take their learning on the go. I use a rotational model in my classroom and would like to incorporate more active center into my classroom.

Students need to be able to move around while they're working in order to keep their focus.

I will us the lap desks and the clipboards so that students can move about while being engaged as well as working outside on my patio on the furniture there.

I feel this will help students be more successful in math as they work hands-on and are engaged throughout the class period.
