My class consists of twenty-two, high energy students with an even number of boys and girls. Their energy makes them a very hands-on and active group of learners. Because of this, I try my best to structure my class and instruction to meet their needs, but am still acquiring things as it is my first year teaching.
My students are a helpful group of people that love working in groups and build on each other’s thoughts.
They are always excited to come to class and learn new things and enjoy it even more when they get to help their peers. The majority of my class requires a lot of one-on-one assistance or small group work, and I am looking to meet those needs as well.
My Project
The majority of my class requires a lot of one-on-one assistance or small group work and I am looking to meet those needs as well. These items will help to create a place where we can meet and do hands-on work.
This hands-on work helps them through their learning process and retain information.
For example, when working through a math problem students enjoying writing it out on white boards step by step in a group setting. This also allows me to see their work and give them corrective feedback or work with a partner to do the same.
The use of white boards in my class has helped when we have access to them. The whiteboard table will remain in the class for us to use at any time. The chairs will fit nicely under the table and not take away from other workspace.
