My Students

I teach mathematics for 4th and 5th grade students in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Our school is unique because we serve a large population of English Language Learners.

Diversity is our strength in our classroom.

We have over 20 languages in our school! But mathematics is our universal language. My students LOVE riddles, math games, and learning all the different ways to look at a math equation!

My Project

Having a document camera could be HUGE for my math instruction. I will use the interactive display to magnify math manipulatives, model math equations, and give accessible note-taking visuals. I'm most excited to use the document camera to share examples of student work. The document camera could also make lessons more fun! Teachers everywhere say document cameras increase participation, understanding, and efficiency.

The possibilities are endless.

Virtual teaching in 2021 with a document camera?! Yes, please! No more modeling math using a mouse. . . my students will be able to see exactly how to solve equations with hand and paper.
