Our students are special because they live in a small, rural, forest community. They can look outside and see turkeys running on the grass, cows in the fields, squirrels in the trees, and birds nesting near our windows. Our students are lucky to live in a supportive community that is fairly small so they do not go unnoticed.
Sadly, our schools are continually receiving less money toward student education.
As a long time teacher I am motivated to provide my classroom with as many opportunities as possible. Each year student needs increase academically, socially, and financially.
What our students do have, is fresh air and beautiful scenery around them. I would like to use that to enhance their education to its fullest.
My Project
Curriculum in the schools is really promoting all the elements in the word STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math). For this project the hand2mind truly meets the math needs students must learn in the schools. Students are asked to problem solve and find a variety of way to come up with an answer.
Hand2mind provides hands-on learning that is exactly what we need in our school.
We set up centers every Friday and plan on using this item in our classroom for our Friday Centers. Math is a tough concept for some but the more students play and find out how flexible math can be the more they will be willing to try.
