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.

My Students

My students are very deserving and thankful for every opportunity given to them. I teach mathematics in rural Alabama middle school that serves approximately 900 students. Fifty percent of our students are minority students. One-hundred percent of our students receive free school breakfast and lunch and some students receive food over the weekend through a volunteer-based "Blessings in a Backpack" program. Despite many hardships and obstacles, my students are hard-working and determined to succeed. Your donation helps my bright students grow into everything they are capable of becoming! Thank you!

My Project

Teens spend more waking hours during the week at school than they do at home. Harsh florescent lighting and concrete walls make up most classrooms. Research has shown that the physical classroom environment can be manipulated so that students receive maximum effectiveness in instruction. I would like to begin transforming my classroom climate by incorporating alternative seating with bean bags. This area would be used to facilitate peer learning in math centers and group collaborations. We are so appreciative of the DonorsChoose.org family for the difference you all have made in our classroom, and we thank you for once again considering our needs.
