My Students

I work in a primarily low income urban school district. I have a very diverse group of students, and many of them struggle with chaotic and stressful home situations that kids should not have to deal with. What I love about them though is that they still come in most days with a positive outlook, a smile on their faces, and they are ready to learn and do their best.

I believe that this is because for many of my students school is their "safe place", so they appreciate being here and it is an escape to the everyday struggles that may be going on around them.

They are all capable of being successful, and I don't want them to ever forget that. Overcoming obstacles is what makes people strong and resilient.

My Project

I have started a cornhole club here at my school. I figured it is a good way to teach math through the scoring process, especially positive and negative integers, and a way for the students to build positive relationships with myself as a new teacher to the district, and students in other classes and grades. My students look forward to the friendly competition and social interaction, and I sneak in math lessons as we play.

The two cornhole sets that I currently have for the club are not the most ideal.

I have a set of cornhole boards that I brought from home, and there was also a set in the school gym. Neither set is of great quality, and the boards slide quite a bit on the school floors. Also, as my team grows, we do not have enough equipment for all students to play.
