My Students
I teach sixth grade math at a middle school which happens to be a Title I school located in a predominantly low income neighborhood, within the Las Vegas City limits. The majority of my students have limited English proficiency. We have a high transciency rate in comparison to national averages with students moving and returning multiple times throughout the same school year, oftentimes. Materials are lost and have to be replenished due to constant changes in enrollment and revolving students. Most if not all of the factors the impose challenges on their success are beyond our students' control which is why we are reaching out to our village, which would be you, to aide in helping us to succeed.
Despite the factors that challenge their ongoing success my students are eager to take on new challenges and engage with their peers using a variety of conceptual learning programs that continuously challenge them academically.
The majority of my students perform below or at grade level as well as our class does include special needs students who also perform at these same levels with valued contributions. The desire to succeed is present each day although the access to necessary resources are limited.
My Project
Each student receives a spiral notebook. We create two page doodle notes for each of our math concepts taken from the math standards over the course of the school year. The notes will consume the first twp sections of the notebook and the final section of the notebook is for scratch work in the form of classwork, tests and quizzes.
We keep scratch work in this manner as opposed to random scraps of paper which are oftentimes tossed to stress the importance of learning from and correcting our mistakes.
Interactive notebooks reinforce the I DO, YOU DO, WE DO methodology.
