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
We are a multi-cultural classroom located in the heart of Milwaukee. We engage in French language instruction every day, all day to a mostly English-speaking group of students. The students are passionate and have a love for learning!
I want to engage my students’ early learning tactile needs and provide them with materials that they can touch, move and build.
Despite our limited resources, I am determined to provide my students with high quality interactive materials so that they can be successful in learning new concepts. It is important that they work in small groups and that their learning involves being able to visualize and represent number groups in different ways. I find the most success with my students when their activities are fun and hands-on!
My Project
This year our school is working on improving our school-wide scores in Math. This all begins with developing number sense in Kindergarten. Students develop this sense through touching, moving and counting objects into different arrangements. By visualizing and creating number groups with different materials, they learn how numbers are represented. These materials will help my students learn quickly and stay engaged in small group math stations.
My students will use magnets, puzzles and large toys to match and play their way to strong number sense.
During this crucial year of focusing on beginning math, we really need engaging math materials and we cannot afford even the most basic supplies. Please help me to get my students the supplies we need so they can grow and learn.
