Celebrating 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 are some of the most resilient people I have ever met. Many of them have fled their home country because of violence, political corruption, and poverty. All my students are English language learners and some have experienced interrupted education. However, they do not let their current or past struggles get in the way of pursuing a better future for themselves and their families. My students invest time in their education. They stay after school, come to school on Saturdays, and even come in the summer just so they can catch up to the rest of their peers.
The adversity my students face is not that of a typical teenager, especially in the current political climate; however, their passion and perseverance is truly inspiring.
My Project
I teach math to students who are newcomers to the United States. My course does not have a written curriculum, so for the past few years, I have been creating my own curriculum to ensure all my students are ready for Geometry next year. This year has been especially difficult. Not only do I have students with interrupted education from a young age, but I have students who were not able to access online learning in their home countries during the pandemic. We are facing large educational gaps in the classroom, and I am in need of supplemental support to help bridge those gaps. Thankfully, there are many teachers across the country facing the same issues who have created awesome resources for students. Having access to these materials with TPT gift cards will help me do more intentional differentiation while focusing my curriculum time in implementing the common core standards my students need to learn this year.
