My Students

Our school is in a low socioeconomic area of the city. We are a Title I school meaning that most students qualify for free or reduced lunch subsidized by the federal government. Many students are dropped off at school around 7:30 am and some aren't picked up until 6 pm. Many of the students' families come from other countries. Their home language is often something other than English. I have a responsibility to guide my students through the year providing them with new and diverse experiences to make them lifelong learners.

I teach in a Humanities/ Leadership Magnet.

Humanitarianism and Leadership skills are developed and emphasized throughout the year.

My Project

Since my students have been working from home for the past year and a half, I know that Math is a subject that will need some remediation. I chose the Math Activities Subscription to give my students an opportunity to get some extra practice and review Math skills and practices. These can be used as supplemental resources to help my students gain confidence in Math concepts.

Good working scissors makes all the difference in the world when doing projects.

Since sharing of materials during the pandemic is not advised, I would like each student to have his/her own pair of scissors available for any project they are needed for.
