My Students

Hello! My school is a Title I school where most of my students go home to an empty house with no one to properly help them with their homework. I have 2 students who are woken up and gotten ready for school by their 4th-grade siblings. I also have a unique pleasure this year of having a student who is legally blind in my classroom.

My students are a complete joy.

They strive to do their best every day! Many of my students strive for perfection and occasionally it's to their detriment. So, we work on how to get to the answer and to solve a problem not if they scored perfectly.

My Project

Math can be a difficult subject to learn, especially when the concepts are more abstract. Our goal in 2nd-grade is to set students up for success throughout the rest of their academic lives with a clear understanding of the basics of mathematics specifically within addition and subtraction.

When 2nd-graders can physically see the math problem they grasp the concept faster.

When we introduce the concept of borrowing a number from another place, students struggle with understanding why they can't just subtract on down and what borrowing 1 from the tens place means. Giving them something physical- like base-ten blocks allows them to see what is happening when we are subtracting or adding.
