My Students

I teach students math & science subjects. I have a multicultural class, in a Title I city school. Many of my students are from a low economic background and live in poverty. Many of my students are NOT on a fifth grade level for math. My levels range from second to fourth grade levels. Special education students are mainstreamed in my classroom. Therefore, they learn math & science best through visual ,tactile and kinesthetic learning styles to grasp concepts and applications in the scope and sequence requirements for our district.

My Project

The supplies will assist my students by providing the necessary resources needed to complete daily activities we often take for granted. As a 5th math grade teacher, I incorporate many hands-on lessons to help them understand common core. As we approach the the ending of the year, I am in great need to replenish our supplies. The folders help us to stay organized,white boards/expo markers/erasers,allow me to check for understanding.We can color and cut to re-create dimensional & geometrical shapes to bring them alive. Having a classroom full of supplies, allows everyone to work equally ,have fun and alleviates embarrassment.
