My first-grade students love to learn! Every morning they walk into our classroom with a big smile. They love to read, to be read to, play math games, work on coding, and write stories. They are curious and inquisitive children, and they challenge me every day to grow with them and be the best I can be.
We work hard to create a classroom community where students can explore, wonder, and discover the world around them.
We ask questions, share our ideas, expand our learning environment using technology, and publish our work to share with the world. They work and collaborate with one another to learn.
Our school also focuses on character building. Children's kindness and compassion are recognized and celebrated. We are proud to be a part of an amazing school. We are a family. We learn, play, laugh, and grow together!
My Project
I would like to start a math fact fluency program with my first graders. They will have plenty of opportunities to explore numbers to build good number sense first with engaging read aloud books and hands-on manipulatives. Then, we will begin a flash card system. Each student will work at their own level and progress at their own rate.
Our classroom will be filled with excitement as students keep track of their math fact mastery.
Even though this is an individualized program, students will be encouraged to work together and teach each other. I know my students will be thrilled to learn additions and subtractions and build math fact fluency!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
