Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

I am an enthusiastic teacher in need of classroom library resource center to enhance student learning. I am an 8th grade math teacher specializing in Pre-Algebra and Algebra courses at a low-income, high-need middle school that is facing another year of little-to-no money in the budget for classroom supplies.

Each year, our students come to a very basic middle school hoping to learn necessary skills for their future. With a lack of monetary funds in our budget, I feel unable to provide them these skills. A majority of our students are on free or reduced lunch program and therefore are unable to acquire basic supplies such as paper and pencil, let alone resources and books to help their learning.

Throughout the school year, students are expected to apply math skills and knowledge to real-life situations. I would like to teach students how they will use math in real-life. With a math library and resource center, students will have access to additional help, practice, and enjoyable stories about math. There will also be materials for parents to also learn the skills their children are learning. This resource center will help students year after year succeed in math classes.

You will make it possible for students to learn and experience all the different things that math has to offer them!
