My Students

Help us save our daily learning so we can review it or take it home to practice. My students chart all their learning and display it in the classroom but after the unit is closed they all want to take something home to reuse. Be the force behind this desire to learn by helping us fund our project.

I am teaching second grade for the first time and have found that my students want to keep the charts we are making.

I want to share their desires by keeping plenty of chart paper available to put their ideas on and display. I have a group of students who are at poverty level and have very little materials at home. When I find something that interests them I try to capitalize on it. They need to see good models of thinking activities, process charts and steps for problem solving. We try to show them models of excellent answers and chart their daily progress in writing and reading skills. We have no text books and everything we do is done with charts and our Promethean board. They are eager to learn and to write but need these supplies to accomplish that task.

My Project

This chart paper will become their walls of learning. We will put our daily blending activity on them and then our spelling practice activities. They will be using them to chart reading skills and review process models and steps to problem solving. Then they will be able to create lists of ideas to write about and share. They will have the opportunity to do shared writing to learn the proper use of nouns, verbs, and other parts of speech as well as the entire writing process. In math we will make problem solving charts with steps to follow. In science we will draw and label diagrams and other learning so we can prepare for our standardized testing. Students learn by seeing and then doing. I hope these chart we create and save will inspire them to try their best and learn new skills as well as reinforce older learning.

You can keep them from being bored by letting them have the opportunity to chart their ideas and stories and then take them home to revisit that learning and share with their family.

These students need to feel important and need the opportunity to see their work displayed and valued. Make this happen for them.
