My students need to have access to a teaching easel, dry erase markers and erasers so that they can be active participants during writing and our Calendar Math routine.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Kindergarten is awesome! My students are very eager to learn more and more every day. They are extremely curious and they love to read and engage in Math! I am a Kindergarten, bilingual teacher at a school where most of our students are struggling readers and are one or more years below grade level in reading.
It is my number one priority to get my students reading on grade level, or above and to give them a strong Math foundation so that they are well prepared for first grade.
I am at a low socioeconomic school where many of our students have tremendous learning gaps. Many of our students have difficult home lives, so it is extremely important to provide them with a safe, caring, and positive learning environment.
My Project
My students need access to a magnetic teaching easel so that they are more involved in their learning. Having access to a teaching easel provides them the opportunity to be the teacher and explain their learning and thoughts while they engage in writing and math.
My students will be active participants when using the easel because they will be able to show their strategies when they are writing and showing their work on the easel.
We use Calendar math in which scholars have to find patterns and show various ways to represent numbers. Having the easel will provide them with a space where they can show their thought process. Scholars do learn from my lessons but they also learn from each other!
The easel also has a side where scholars can practice their writing and language skills!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
