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

Our classroom is a dynamic space where collaborative learning takes center stage. With your support, we can maintain our resources and continue offering engaging, interactive lessons.

Our classroom projector is a crucial tool for delivering interactive lessons and visual content.

Unfortunately, the bulb is nearing the end of its life, and the filter needs replacing to ensure the projector continues functioning properly. Without these, our ability to project lessons, demonstrate concepts, and share student work will be greatly diminished.

Additionally, my students frequently work in small groups using poster-sized whiteboards to solve math problems together. This collaborative approach enhances their critical thinking and teamwork skills. To support this, we need a replacement projector bulb and filter to keep our classroom technology running smoothly, whiteboard erasers for easy and efficient correction of student work, whiteboard cleaner wipes to maintain cleanliness and keep our whiteboard surfaces in optimal condition, and whiteboard markers to ensure every student has the tools they need to participate in group activities.

With these essential supplies, my students will continue to engage deeply with their math lessons, working collaboratively to solve problems and develop critical thinking skills. Your support will not only brighten our classroom but also empower the next generation of mathematicians.

Thank you for considering our project!
