My Students
My students attend a small school nestled in a neighborhood in Pennsylvania. The students attending my school are from an area marked by high poverty. They have had kindergarten and first grade to settle into the school routine. The time for achievement gaps to close is running low. It is imperative that they see school as a positive space that respects and supports them.
It is increasingly important that these students know each and every day that poverty does not define them.
They deserve the best classroom experience. They need access to a high-quality education.
My Project
These books are incredible resources for teaching and guiding students to not just do math but understand math. They allow teachers to learn strategies and activities that can provide quality instruction and prevent the need for intervention. They also allow teachers to provide targeted intervention when needed. They will help students become proficient in counting, base ten, and operations.
Not only will these resources benefit myself and the students that I work with directly, but they'll also benefit other teachers.
We are a collaborative school that shares ideas and resources. Unfortunately, there are many resources that other districts have that we do not. This purchase will be a step towards having professional books that will keep us up to date in our practice.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
