Because of COVID procedures forcing online learning, hybrid learning, and shortened day learning, my students missed opportunities to solidify concrete understanding of mathematical concepts such as place value, multiplication, and geometry. With the addition of the Base-10 blocks, tangrams, and math blocks, I'll be able to help them gain solid understandings of place-value, multiplication, and geometry. The lack of hands-on learning due to the COVID prescribed online and hybrid learning models has stalled my students’ ability to be scientists, to look at the world with wonder and awe and to ask questions. They've been so far removed from things that are real they don't understand how the world works. The microscopes are for lessons related to ecosystems and energy and matter. I plan to have them look at both living things and non-living things more closely to see the difference. I plan to have them look at smaller and smaller things to introduce them to matter. With the microscopes I'll be able to help them see that there is more to what they can see. I'll be able to help them see the world with wonder and find questions to ask about what they are seeing or not seeing. The telescope is for astronomy. Just as scientists in the past and present have looked at the sky, the moon, and the stars, and used questions to guide them to discovering new things, my students will also be able to use the telescope to look at the sky, wonder, ask questions, and begin to formulate answers.
