Funded Jul 17, 2017Thank you so much for your donation! You have made such a powerful impact in our classroom. We are in the first phase of using the lapbooks. We are currently using our lapbooks to begin our work on solving multi-step word problems. We will then be using them for adding and subtracting fraction with unlike denominators. We are doing our work as a small group. The students are supporting each other with the design and implementation of the lapbooks. The lapbooks are providing scaffolding support and strategies for students who have struggles and challenges in Math. Our goal is to have the students independently use the lapbooks during our units as a resource for them to refer to in class and at home. The students who will be using the lapbooks to build upon their skills for fractions and problem solving skills through hands on materials you have provided.
My students were amazed at the generosity of donors to our classroom. They were excited to pick out their own colored file folders and sharpie markers. It was amazing to see the enthusiasm they had getting to work on math in a different format. The lapbooks will continue to help the students gain knowledge, self confidence and skills through the entire school year.”
With gratitude,
Ms. T.
