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
Shakuntala Devi said " Without mathematics, there's nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers." This quote has inspired me to provide my students with opportunities to be successful in math. I know that students who don’t have immediate recall of math facts spend much of their time on basic computations instead of learning higher order math skills. This is why I try to provide my students with the foundation they need to achieve their goals.
As an educator, I seek to provide meaningful learning activities to challenge their understanding of the world.
My students come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and the majority of them qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
My Project
I am requesting pencils and a sharpener to provide my students with the resources they need to be successful in math class. With a pencil, they can erase and fix mistakes easily. They feel as though they are more in control of their own learning, making them more confident, self-regulated learners. They will be motivated to learn and not worry about not having a pencil that is sharpened. Students will be excited to learn because they have the necessary tools they need to be successful, lifelong learners. Fluency in math facts will help children gain confidence in math and excel in other areas of math.
With your help, my students will once again be learning with enthusiasm as they use the pencils and sharpener.
