My Students

I have the most amazing students! We are a Title 1 school with students from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.

One of the best things about first graders is that they love to learn!

Each year, my approximately 25 energetic and fun first grade students' favorite memories include daily read alouds, literacy and math stations, STEM projects and experiments, singing, dancing, and a variety of different art and writing projects.

My district's current plan is to teach entirely virtually for at least the first semester. But this doesn't have to mean that the fun has to stop! I want my students to have and use a variety of hands on manipulatives and tools that will mirror the activities that we would have used in the classroom. This is where you come in! Are you ready to help?

My Project

With at least a semester of virtual learning ahead of us, it is critical that my students have hands on tools like ten frames, number bonds, unifix cubes, number lines, money, and clocks at home that they can touch and use. The dice and cards will allow for independent practice of addition and subtraction while I work with small groups. The name tags include important reference tools for use with all of our math lessons. Finally, the tote bags and pencil boxes will be used to keep all of our math materials together and organized.

Virtual learning can still be fun, interactive, and very hands on for our youngest learners.

These tools will help to make sure that we continue to provide opportunities for developing fine motor skills, play, and social emotional learning. Thank you for helping to provide these important tools for my class!
