Many of my students come from very difficult backgrounds. Many of them live in one bedroom homes or apartments with many family members living in these tight quarters. For many of them, the school and my classroom is the safest place for them to be.
The manipulatives I am requesting will be giving these students an opportunity to not only learn the material but to be able to completely understand the concept by being able to physically see it and work with them. My classroom is located in a computer lab. However, 50% of the computers in my lab do not work. This makes my job difficult to impossible to allow my students to use all the technological resources available to them, as many don't have access at home.
