I have six classes of 30 or so students. About 50% of my student body comes from economically disadvantaged homes. They are amazing, however, so many of them cannot afford basic school supplies. This is why part of our wish list includes pens and pencils. I teach math and computer science to students who generally wonder where math fits in their lives. My classroom is a place of challenge and discovery. Students will spend the year building a foundation of knowledge and skills they will need as they move forward in advanced studies. My projects will be about collaboration and learning. I want my students to understand how mathematics apply to their everyday life, and that they can become the innovators of their generation. I'm hoping to help bridge the gap between their high school choices and real life opportunities. This year we are going to focus on creating amazing interactive notebooks that students can take with them beyond high school, and become resource they will treasure and USE. To do this, the supplies we asking for are; composition books, markers, colored pencils, and glue. In addition, we are focusing on making our work more visible. Research shows that visible learning elevates a students performance, creates a dialogue in the classroom and helps build trust and rapport between students and teachers. It is also a time for students to reflect upon the work that they have created. To that end, I am aiming to wrap my classroom with vertical dry erase boards which students will use as they collaborate with one another on challenging mathematical tasks.
