My Students

My students enter the classroom ready and excited to share their creativity, imagination, talent, and love. They are enthusiastic learners and active knowledge seekers. I want to stimulate student thinking by empowering and encouraging them to steer their own learning and discovery.

I teach at a large Title I elementary school in Los Angeles, where most of the students come from low-income households and have limited access to basic essentials needed to fully experience the wonderful Kindergarten journey that I want to provide.

My students are, can be, and will be all of the things they want to be, from farmers to police officers, and teachers to astronauts!

My Project

This summer, I attended a CGI (Cognitively Guided Instruction) Math training. I was very inspired and impressed by all the new teaching techniques and the difference it made on students' problem solving and critical thinking skills.

The materials I have selected will help me integrate and introduce the CGI Math activities and instruction to my students.

Most of the materials are for students to partake in activities, such as counting collections, number talks, everyday routines, and fun math games. The supplies are for the students to not only actively engage in these activities, but also keep their learning and work neat and organized. The books asked for in the list are to keep students motivated and for them to remember to keep persevering and using their mistakes as an opportunity to aim higher.

Again, I'm really looking forward to starting this upcoming year with CGI Math activities and routines! These materials will help our classroom embrace the CGI program.

Here is an introduction to the CGI research and program: http://hbcsd.org/view/11425.pdf
