My Students

A typical day in our classroom starts off with a timer running before the bell rings. The students walk in and start on their warmup without being prompted. When the timer rings, the class leader asks the students to rise and reads a quote to be repeated by the class. That's when I finally step in.

I teach Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 to 9th through 12th graders in a small "school within a school." The larger school is one of the largest in the nation, but we have created a small school environment so that students can feel part of a community from the very beginning.

My Algebra 1 students are a combination of first-time Algebra students to some who are taking the class for the third or fourth time. My Algebra 2 students are in their third year of math. Each student is given a Chromebook by the school, so we are integrating technology into the classroom.

My Project

Many of my students will be first generation college-bound students. Their families may not have the resources to purchase these books themselves, or may not realize the importance of studying for these tests.

Quite a few of my students would rather go to community college first and then transfer to a 4-year rather than worry about the SAT/ACT tests now, but I want to encourage them to try taking these tests to see if they can be admitted directly to the 4-year college of their dreams.

I am asking prep books to make them available in my classroom so that my students can study and do better on these important tests.
