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 working in a school with high poverty and diverse backgrounds, I am accustomed to seeing my students struggle daily. Whether it is not having school supplies or the tools they need at home to be successful, these obstacles may prevent them from reaching their full potential.
My students are strong-willed, focused, and motivated, and they love math and science!
My students are very active and full of energy. They show me this every day from the moment I greet them at the door in my classroom.
I want my students to be able to reach their full potential. Sometimes I feel I can only do so much in my classroom while they are under my care. Once they go home, I cannot control how they live their lives, but I am hoping I can make a positive impact on them during our time together by giving them the tools they need to make positive choices.
My Project
I would love to provide my students with hands on materials they can use at home to practice and and reinforce the lessons they are learning at home. When students are able to use manipulatives as they are working, it reinforces the skill for success. Students currently are having to adjust to virtual learning and I would love to be able to provide them with the resources they need to continue their success at home. They need to practice their higher order level thinking skills by creating and applying to their real world.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
