We are a Title I school in a lower income area where 71% of my students qualify for free or reduced cost lunch. 61% Hispanic, 19% White, 9% American Indian, and 8% African American. I teach 7th and 8th grade math and many of my students come to me academically deficient with gaps in previous grade level standards, which makes it extremely difficult to teach the grade level content without the kids getting frustrated with the difficulty level. They are hard workers and like to use the technology that is given to them here. I want to use that interest they have in technology to my fullest advantage. We have a lot of transient students that come and go and miss out on important classroom time, lessons, and activities. Many of our students are English Language Learners and need extra support with learning English. When our students go home, parents struggle with helping their children with mathematics. Even with all these challenges, my students are willing to work hard to succeed.
