My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students experience several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the challenges they face, I am looking to show students the real purpose of math.

I want my students to see that mathematics can help them better understand and describe the world around them.

They like to be engaged, they love to read and learn new things. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the time they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. I show my students the true purpose of math. Help them see that math is here to help them better understand and explain the world around them.

My Project

An organized environment helps children to be more independent. When they know where things belong, they are more able to do things all by themselves. An organized environment helps keep expectations about where to play, rest, put papers away, eat, and so forth which leads to more positive student behavior. An organized environment helps teachers spend more time on their students rather than worrying over where things are and where things belong.

An organized environment creates greater opportunities for student learning.

A well-organized classroom sends a clear and positive message to students: This room was created for you, with your specific needs in mind, because you and your learning are important. With good organization, any classroom, even one that’s small or oddly shaped, can feel comfortable and functional. Without it, even a generously sized room can diminish students’ sense of ease and autonomy and limit their learning.
