My Project

Many of my 4th grade students are hands-on learners and need to use tools to understand math. They need to physically break apart fractions, or use base 10 blocks to understand how division works. The ways these manipulatives are endless.

Some students also need additional resources for reading that allow they to use their senses.

One example is the whisper phones. They allow students to read out loud without interrupting others.

Students come into my classroom with stress and trauma. I work to teach them to self regulate their emotions and jittery feelings. Students learn to use tools to cope with their stress or child energy, so that they can stay engaged in their learning.
