“Student engagement is the product of motivation and active learning. It is a product rather than a sum because it will not occur if either element is missing.” ― Elizabeth F. Barkley
My students are enthusiastic 5 and 6 year olds with a zest for learning!
They love school and are always excited about what we do in class. I am always trying to integrate technology into the classroom as well as using traditional Kindergarten activities.
Many of our students come from low income families and we are a Title I school. There is sometimes little support at home due to a large population of English Language Learners that we have. My students are great kids who are motivated to learn. I am always looking for new technology to encourage them.
My Project
My students need a software subscription to access learning both in school and at home. I need a year's subscription to ESGI software to keep my classroom flowing smoothly.
Having Mathseeds will help to enhance the curriculum as well as allow small group instruction to take place in the classroom.
Mathseeds is a comprehensive, blended mathematics program created specifically for the needs of early Math learners in Grades Pre-K through 2. Mathseeds incorporates a range of formative and summative assessment tools both embedded into lesson progress and in more formal testing scenarios. Mathseeds is full of enjoyable child-focused activities that teach fundamental concepts in a fun, motivating and engaging way, while rewarding children for their efforts. Every lesson has a wide variety of activities, games and songs.
ESGI software is a data management tool that helps me keep tabs on my students' progress. It allows me to collect data on the go from a computer, tablet, ipad or phone. I can show student growth with parents, administrators and co-teachers. It helps me to target specific areas of need within my classroom .
