My Students
I work with a group of determined and intellectually gifted scholars. My students all come from low-income communities and always manage to come into class everyday eager and ready for the next adventure. I strive to create a safe, warm and welcoming environment for all my students.

I encourage my students to push their thinking through critical analysis and high-order thinking questions and discussions. I want to supply my students with the tools they need to be successful, not only in my classroom but in life in general.

I plan to aim for 8 - HP 11.6' Chromebook - Intel Celeron - 4GB Memory - 16GB eMMC Flash Memory - Black for the classroom
With these computers, my students will be able to apply mathematical skills in engaging and stimulating ways.
I plan to have my students log onto an interactive classroom on KhanAcademy.org where they can better engage in the classroom. I plan to allow time for exploration and have my students explore various online tools.
They will utilize the computers for group work as well as data analysis from lessons I have acquired from @bootcampworld.org workshops which align with the units I teach. Also, we cover a unit on data and statistics and I plan to show my students how to apply computer science when
