My Students
I have extraordinary students with limited resources, but they are courageous and have a zealous spirit to achieve greatness in mathematics and beyond. All my students attend the Math, Science, and Technology magnet as they have shown an affinity for the content. My students have so much character and creativity to think outside of the box. This is shown by their desire to go deeper with mathematics by their creativity in assigned projects. We are located in the San Fernando Valley, just north of Los Angeles. All of my students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
My Project
Distance learning has been a challenging for all students. To keep my students active and promote health of body some students signed up for the LA marathon. Unlike other years due to the pandemic we can't meet to train. Since August we have been training and increasing our distance gradually. No students have dropped out since the beginning; as coaches, we are more than happy that students are showing their determination underneath unique circumstances.
Garmin Forerunner 35 GPS running watches will help us keep track of each others' times as we go into longer distances.
With the features of the watch, we are able to motivate and congratulate our runners virtually when they upload their data. As coaches, we can recommend to runners different strategies depending on their data to make their runs more efficient. As we begin to train for our first half-marathon on December 13, any contributions to this project will be greatly appreciated.
