My Students

My students come from hard working, low-income households where English is their second language. They are of different cultures and ethnicities. These are kindergartners and 1st graders in a self contained class that includes students of English Language Learners and students with special needs. They were in fully remote preschool and kindergarten last year

They have missed out on a lot of hands on learning while attending class remotely.

They had a tough time learning remotely at such a young age. It has been a very tough year for everyone.

My Project

My kindergarteners and first graders are struggling with math concepts after learning fully remote for a year and a half. We have been reviewing for a month and my students are still struggling.

Teaching math in a self contained bridge class with many different levels can be challenging so I would like to provide fun, hands on math activities when they are learning in small groups.

Most of the activities are self correcting so my students can work on them independently.

I have found students get interested in learning math when there are hands on activities they can manipulate.
