My Students

Students in our school are full of energy and eager to show their individuality. They are continually exploring new ways to show their learning. Students have very diverse backgrounds but come together as a community that supports and accepts one another.

Each of my math classes consists of 30-35 students at varying levels of math competency.

Students have different abilities and learn in different ways. Some are eager to do activities and projects to learn a concept. Others like to use computers to watch instructional videos and practice skills. We try to support them all so they can achieve their best.

My Project

Knitting and crocheting are excellent ways for students to socialize while producing a product and use their math skills! With all the chaos from last year, students need a new hobby that is easy to master, and provides an environment where they go at their own pace and just relax with their friends. These packs of yarn and adjustable looms will make it easy for students to get started. The looms are perfect for beginners learning how to make their first pair of socks. After they learn basic skills, students can choose a color of their choice and make something creative. This will be a great outlet for students, in many ways.
