My Students

How much did you enjoy learning when it was hands-on? I am very fortunate to teach a wonderful group of first graders. Their favorite subjects are math and science. Unfortunately, I do not have all the manipulatives I need to help make their learning interactive.

My first grade students are very bright and eager to learn.

They come from hard working, Spanish speaking homes. Their parents want them to receive an excellent education. As their teacher, I try to provide as many different opportunities as possible for them to master the curriculum. Math and science can be a challenge, but manipulatives make learning easier and more fun.

My Project

I would love for each student to have his or her own clock. It is hard enough to teach students how to tell time, but imagine students trying to learn time without having a clock. I would also like to have plastic coins for my students. Having coins to use in my classroom will help make counting money a real-life experience. My students will be able to add and subtract, while manipulating the “real” coins. The privacy partitions will help my students concentrate on the dozens of district mandated tests and quizzes. I will be able to reuse the privacy partitions year after year without having to worry about wasting limited time and money.

I truly believe these manipulatives will help my first graders grasp the concepts we are learning in class, while having fun.

These materials will provide my students with hands-on learning that will help them make tremendous growth in math and science.
