My Students

In my classroom, our students are always buzzing and chatting about new strategies they have tried to solve problems. We often practice our "math talk" and explain the way mathematicians do! If at the end of the day, my kids say "math was fun!" or "I got it!", I know I have made a difference.

I am a math content specialist and I teach about sixty students each day.

I always try to incorporate different strategies into each lesson to reach all types of learners. This could range from technology integration, math videos, group activities, and inquiry-based learning.

My Project

We spend so much time in our classroom we like to keep it neat and organized. I often try to print colorful labels or search for more appealing ways to stay organized.

I would love to have an easier way to create beautiful bulletin board displays to show our work and make students proud of their accomplishments!

I am always searching online for charts and materials to make our classroom a brighter place. I spend so much money on these items that others create....I would like to begin creating them on my own! With the Cricut machine we can create bulletin board letters, labels for our classroom supplies and bins and posters that represent our work and all that my students have accomplished. I also love to display "interactive" boards where students can post and share comments and a Cricut machine will help me make do that too!

My students need a Cricut machine and supplies to brighten up our classroom!
