Many of my students come from Spanish speaking homes. They struggle living in two worlds, home and the outside world. They are the connection for their parents to society. Many of them are the interpreter for their families in every day life. Our school is a Title I school. All my students are on free or reduced lunch. I have students at all levels of mathematical ability. I have highly proficient students who truly love helping their classmates who struggle with math and confidence. Those who struggle in math often struggle in other subjects as well. They have dreams like everyone else. Each day, I work hard to open their view of their futures. I want my students to believe they can succeed and go to college.
