This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
Manipulatives are essential in daily activities in my classroom. Students use them for guided practice and showcase modeled skills by using the stations, Socratic seminars, and groups. The manipulatives help students learn by allowing them to move from concrete experiences to abstract reasoning. Also, they build students' confidence by giving them ways to test and confirm their reason. These tools help solve problems. They make learning exciting and enjoyable. Using manipulatives is excellent, but distraction comes in when students have to wait for others to use them. In addition, I have little access to them as they are used by many teachers within the building. Thus, this is time-consuming. By having manipulatives in our classroom, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on improving their learning, especially my emergent bilingual students who need more time to interact with the manipulative materials. By donating to our project, you will help improve and increase student attention and focus, which will ultimately help increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the task at hand and quickly adapt learning to suit their skills or abilities. For instance, to my emergent bilingual students, manipulatives need less explanation, thus removing language barriers.
