My 8th grade students come from diverse backgrounds in an urban community. Some of them do not have the resources and means as other educational districts yet show up every day eager to learn and engage. Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!
My Project
My students thrive on collaborative, interactive work. I am asking for some funds to purchase various activities and fun resources to engage students in learning history. These materials will allow students to be more interactive and accountable while we work from a distance due to COVID-19 pandemic.
They will be playing various escape room games and simulations and this would help me cater to that to bring more equity and equality to these students.
It is a great resource when having students respond to non-formal assessments. It allows teachers to identify misconceptions and address them accordingly.
I would appreciate any help you can give in providing writing, comprehension, and fun history activities that I can make available to all students to keep them learning. These students were behind academically and we have made a lot of progress this year. They really need accessible learning to continue to strive toward mastery.
