My students are the epitome of triumph and resilience. With poverty and gun violence plaguing our community, students still enter the building every day eager to learn and willing to make a positive impact on our school. Students ask many questions about math and science and draw real world connections to their life experiences.
I want to continue to foster their inquisitiveness and excitement by allowing them to work collaboratively to solve performance tasks. Performance tasks increase the rigor of our classroom by allowing students to think critically and creatively, work collaboratively, and communicate effectively.
I provide my students with all the materials they need when they come to my classroom so that they are able to put their best foot forward every day. Their tables are stocked with pencils, crayons, markers, and everything they will need to complete their projects in class. I want to provide them with enough materials so that they have a choice when completing their projects.
