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 Project

I teach a diverse population of students including honors, special education, and English language learners from many different cultural backgrounds and with different educational needs. We are a Title One school meaning students come from lower socio-economic circumstances. I teach mathematics to three seventh-grade classes yearly, with thirty students in each class. I teach many newcomer students who have just come over, have little to no supplies, and need a lot of support.

Basic supplies are the key to success in the math classroom!

These supplies are to help my students have an inviting and friendly learning environment to learn and be part of my classroom! The calculators will help us get towards having one-to-one for our new online state exam. The sentence strips will be for our math word wall. The whiteboard markers will be for our vertical learning spaces.
