My Students
My students are second graders in a small elementary. This is a middle-class neighborhood, deemed semi-rural even though the city proper has nearly 40,000 people. That means my children tell me about their chickens and horses as well as their hover boards and gymnastics lessons. They are taught to be hard-working and dependable, family traits that translate well to school. Our school has teachers teaching the children of their former students, creating a family-feeling school culture.
These children come from varying socio-economic levels, so their access to technology at home also varies.
My Project
My students love hands-on learning. Reading about science and engineering projects is not the same. With Magnetic 3D Tiles and Lauri Magnets and Lauri Magnetic Pattern Blocks, my students will be able to create the 2D and 3D structures, mazes, art, and other inventions they envision--without using a screen.
Playing with physical materials, with its trial-and-error-and-new-trial method, can be more rewarding to a child with strong spatial reasoning than using a design program on some form of technology is.
My students will also increase their fine motor skills using these manipulatives.
I also want my struggling students to be able to use the letter blocks to form words and word families to help with their literacy skills. The dominoes we will use in math to help build math fact fluency, as well as strategic reasoning.
