  • Bringing in a New Year

    Funded Jan 1, 2025

    I'm constantly looking for additional math resources to help teach my students math skills and how to become lifelong learners who make informed decisions.

    Many students often need additional materials to help meet their individual needs and learn about the Chinese Lunar New Year.

    As a teacher, our lessons are driven by individualized academic goals which often need additional resources. An amazing resource for many teachers is Teachers Pay Teachers, or TPT, to help meet the individual needs of many students in our classrooms and teach about the Chinese Lunar New Year.

    The packets I have downloaded have been used daily to learn about the Chinese Lunar New Year. These skills will help my students become more aware of other cultures.”

    This classroom project was brought to life by Panda Express and one other donor.
This project is for a smart pen. I strongly feel it will help my students to be successful in the general education curriculum. In these classes it is hard for my students to keep up with note taking. For example, they can go to the regular education classroom for science, and listen to the lesson. Then, go back to the classroom and have it transcribed on the IPad. They will also have it recorded to play back to study. This will cause the student less anxiety and free the child up to listen and learn. Therefore, my students do not have good notes and fall behind. This pen will record the teacher's voice and the student can have it to play back and help study. It also will transcribe it on the computer. This could make all the difference.
