Creating a Positive and Inviting Learning Atmosphere

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 math at AJMS. I really enjoy creating a classroom environment that is as inviting and stress free as possible. Many students' favorite subject is not math (unfortunately), but I love showing them that math does not always have to be scary and ominous. In my classroom, I try my best to help my students navigate the choppy waters that is Algebra 1 with a welcoming learning environment.

Please help me in creating a safe space for my students.

I am requesting a Bose speaker. I play music of all genres for my students so that they may work and learn in a soothing and positive atmosphere. Playing music in my classroom allows students to stay focused and helps to reduce stress for my students (and myself).

Thank you!

Mr. Sandoval Anson Jones Middle School Grades 6-8
