My students need a Chromebook, screen protector and insurance protection plan to create a math station where students collaborate and work in teams to build foundational skills while integrating technology and practicing tolerance.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sartin's classroom raised $799

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
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district in Chicago and former student of this district, I understand that my students are faced with challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. Despite those many challenges, the mathematicians that I enlighten are motivated problem solvers, curious about the world around us and destined for success.
My students are amazing middle schoolers stuck somewhere between cool and fabulous.
Many of my students are bilingual with English being their second language. They enjoy mathematics, and they are quickly learning the importance of teaching others how to fish instead of simply giving fish to our peers.
Just like most teenagers, my students love technology and socialization, and I want to use their interests to create a more efficient learning environment that fosters collaborative learning, open communication, developing their skills with technology and access to class materials that promote an inclusive class environment.
My Project
My students love using technology to learn and reinforce academic content on our classroom website. Students will work in groups to complete problem solving activities, projects and class assignments which provides opportunities for my students to practice tolerance while working with others that they might not otherwise interact with.
This Chromebook will be apart of a Math station to assist me with breaking down the social barriers that often occur within the middle school grades.
As you may know, the pre-teen years can be very problematic for students both academically and socially. This project will begin to open doors for online collaboration and problem solving as they build and review foundational math skills while practicing and promoting tolerance for others. The Chromebook will be a part of a math center focused solely on math talks and collaboration. Students will develop social skills, problem solving, collaborations strategies and skills that promote tolerance and respect for the ideas and views of others.
Our school has limited resources for technology, and this project will intertwine interests in learning, social skills and promoting the tolerance others. A huge factor in promoting tolerance is the ability to cooperate with those around you regardless of their individual differences. Allow us to strengthen our school community socially by promoting tolerance of individual ideas and views one Chromebook at a time.
