My Students

My students are ready and eager to learn. We are a Title I school with 100% free and reduced lunch. Our students come from a rural community with parents who want them to succeed and the best for them in life. My students are in first grade.

We enjoy learning in a nontraditional environment and using technology to explore the world around us.

My students are excited and love the opportunity to explore the world around them. They have been learning to work collaboratively and how to find solutions to real-world problems.

My Project

My students are amazing and creative children. They participate in math activities in our classroom using a variety of materials and manipulatives. One way to reinforce the science and math skills we are learning is by repeated practice. We complete weekly STEM challenges in our classroom and I've noticed that my students are struggling with math concepts such as geometry and addition.

This project is to provide materials to allow me to create math and STEM take home bags for my students.

The materials in this project combined with manipulatives from our classroom will allow students to practice the skills and concepts we are working on in class. I use games in my classroom frequently, but students need more time to work on them. One of my students told his Mom that I was tricking them into learning by using games.

The Science Everywhere project of Math Take Home bags inspired me to take the idea of games to the students at home. The students will be eager to practice skills when they are in a game format. The math file folder games will provide a compact game that can be taken home and returned to school. The card games will allow students to build their math fluency. The poly envelopes, file folders, and drawstring bags will allow students to keep up with the materials and return them for the next student to use. The bags will be sent home with students for a week and then sent with another student.
