My Students

My students are hardworking children that come from impoverished homes. Many of them are the first of their families to be English language learners.

Our students come to school every day ready to learn and outdo what they have done the day before.

We set goals in each of the content areas which our students aim to achieve. This is not easy in a low income, Title l school, where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Despite the many challenges that our students face, they are always ready and excited to learn.

My Project

Scholastic News is a great nonfiction/current events magazine made to interest fifth graders. Providing this resource to my students allows them to receive real world news in a high interest and age appropriate way. Each week, students are able to participate in a debate based on the information provided in the magazine. Students pull out facts and think about the pros and cons for each topic and work with their peers to plan their debate.

Students will also be able to analyze mathematical situations and provide solutions that apply to a real world setting, making them able to compete with others.

This will be done with the DynaMath magazines.
