My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students experience challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the challenges they face, I am looking to show students the real purpose of math.

I want my students to see that mathematics can help them better understand and describe the world around them.

They like to be engaged, and they love to read and learn new things. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical."

From the time they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. I show my students the true purpose of math and help them see that math is here to help them better understand and explain the world around them.

My Project

It goes without saying that 2020 has been a year of great change. It's not an understatement to say that this year will change the way classroom look for a very long time. Flexible seating has been needed over that last year, so with these new chairs and floor cushions my students can sit at a distance and still learn in their environment.

I want to give my students more open-air space by providing more flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, like plants in classrooms purify the air and create a sense of calm.

Organizational storage pieces will also be helpful, as we keep clutter out of the rooms or even act as sanitation stations.
