Do remember what it was like to learn something for the very first time? The New Common Core is challenging and teaching students fast and more intensely than ever before!! That is why I need your help.
My Students: Research shows most of my students need extra support and hands-on learning to be on grade level.
Providing creative New Common Core based materials and technology greatly enhances their success. My students are wonderfully unique and diverse in ethnicity, culture, and abilities. Title I students have parents that care and want the best for their children, but sometimes are overwhelmed with work and trying to make ends meet. Single or struggling parents spend their limited time reading, doing math, or helping with homework to help their kids progress, but may not have the background knowledge themselves to fully help their student. It is also hard for low income families to provide as many opportunities for use of technology at home because of the high cost of these products.
My Project
My Project: My students need help learning the New Common Core reading and math skills! I am asking for kits from Lakeshore Learning that will target these new First Grade topics. Specifically, a Common Core tailored Addition and Subtraction kits which includes games, manipulatives, and more specific math lessons. In addition, I need Language Arts learning center games for Blending sounds and specific phonics skills. Children love to learn when it feels like a game and gives them the chance to be hands-on and creative. These items and technology will be used to engage my lower skilled learners and enhance the other students learning as well.
Your Donation: I believe that your donation can make a huge impact on helping me to build a foundation for a well rounded, inviting, and creative new year.
I look forward, with your help, to create a solid framework of teaching tools which will help my classroom students succeed for years to come.
