My Students

My students bring their best selves to class every day. They have developed a trust that allows them to be brave in our math class. Sharing your mathematical thinking can be a challenge at any age; my learners are developing the confidence to explain and defend their thinking to their peers.

We spend our class time breaking down fears about math and encouraging creative thinking.

We explore ideas and search for the meanings behind algorithms. As we find new ways to interact with math and express our thinking, students are creating meaningful connections with the material.

My Project

My students work hard during class, but sometimes they need more time to master a concept. My team offers a daily study hall to ensure our students have the instructional time and support they need to be successful. We have a large number of dedicated students who come to study hall every day after school. Every day! (This dedication is really impressive when I consider how tired I am at the end of the school day-I'm not sure I could put in an extra hour!)

One thing my students really need to make this most of this learning opportunity is food.

They're hungry at the end of the day! (Me too.) They really do need a little snack to boost their energy and help them stay focused.
