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
My school is very diverse both culturally and economically. Our staff and families do our best to ensure that all children have the necessary tools to be successful learners. The number of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch is high enough that the school provides free breakfast and lunch to all students and weekend meals to many.
My classroom is filled with students who come from many different backgrounds and speak many different languages.
For many, this is their first experience in a school setting. They need exposure to as many different types of learning experiences as possible to help them catch up to their peers who had early childhood experiences.
My Project
This year we are implementing a new math series. It uses many different types of math manipulatives in each lesson. It came with some of the materials needed but not all and not always enough for each student.
Having enough hands on manipulatives for each student to use will help them be successful mathematicians.
My students learn can learn math concepts more quickly if they can touch and use the manipulatives such as renrecks and geoboards them selves rather than watch me do it. I have many students with special needs and that are still learning the language. they need to have hands on material to help them understand the concepts
I need the storage bins to help be keep everything organized and easy to access when needed.
