My Project

The students in my classroom have a wide range of learning abilities. I always remind my students that everyone learns differently and that is okay. I like to foster the "family" feeling in the classroom and my heart melts every time I see my students helping each other when they struggle.

I am quickly realizing that I do not have enough manipulatives to complete math interventions in the best way to help my students.

Many of my students struggle with math and just want to understand it better. Having visuals to aide in learning seems to help the students who struggle the most.

I am hoping that by obtaining these much-needed manipulatives I can help give my students the tools they need to become more successful in the world of math.
