My Project

Help me supply my scholars with everything they need this year. This is my 2nd year teaching, and I plan to take things to the next level! We are sharpening our multiplication and division skills and diving into the coordinate grids! I am serving just shy of 100 scholars living in West Philadelphia, a community whose greatness is only sometimes seen and acknowledged.

“Life is a math equation, In order to gain the most, you have to know how to convert negatives into positives”

— Anonymous

This year, I aim to give my students engaging lessons that encourage learning and are FUN for ALL students!
