My Project

I am privileged to teach my K-2 students in small groups. My students have been identified by their lead teachers as needing additional support in ELA and Math. I wish to effectively provide this support mainly through hands-on activities, including dry erase number lines, magnetic letters, blocks, and more , with less lecturing.

Research has shown that students of all ages learn better when actively engaged in their learning journey.

Students are engaged and excited about their learning when their hands are busy. Busy hands lead to busy brains.

Hands-on activities allow students to interact with the learning materials, make mistakes, and engage in problem-solving strategies. A busy brain helps students better understand the material, leading to academic and social growth.
