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 Students
I teach at a Title I, public elementary school in Florida. I have 18, eager, kindergarten, face to face learners in my class. Our staff, parents, and teachers share a strong sense of community and we all are working together to meet the needs of each student.
This year, COVID-19 has us working in overdrive and we are constantly rethinking our needs and dreaming new dreams for our students.
My students are happy, curious, energetic, creative, and enthusiastic about learning, and I work to provide them with the very best opportunities to grow and learn. They are grateful for everything and they love school!
My Project
At this time students have been organized very differently in the classroom due to Covid 19. Students cannot share supplies and have to stay in their seats socially distanced from eachother.
A desk abacus from Hand 2 Mind will help students practice counting, addition and subtraction at their desks with this hands on manipulative.
We have practiced with one in the class and it has really helped. I would like to each student have one at their desk to use during our math lessons. This supports their ability to count, add and subtract by using the abacus.
