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
I teach Math at my school and I started a little after the school year began. Many of our students are low-income and we have a majority Latinx population. Last school year, I believe many of my students were not able to learn much remotely and due to the stress and challenges from outside of school. Some of them did not have any support at home and had parents who are essential workers or were given additional responsibilities.
All the teachers and I at our school work every day to make sure our students feel safe, know that they belong, and experience academic success.
Many of our students are resilient, funny, motivated, and kind. I would love to offer them additional resources so that they feel cared about and can focus on the positive aspects of their life! Additionally, anything I can do to make math relevant to their lives helps a lot!
My Project
Since returning to full in-person learning after disruptions due to COVID-19, student behavior and academic engagement have been major issues at our school. While we are back to in-person learning, many students continue to be excluded on a regular basis due to COVID-19.
Our project is to grow plants in the classroom with the goal of bringing real-world examples into the classroom, modeling positive strategies for dealing with anxiety, and increasing student engagement.
Students will grow plants, measure their growth based on a hypothesis, and graph the data.
Also included in these supplies are games and activities to support differentiated learning and increase student engagement on a day-to-day basis.
This project will be tracked on a digital platform so it can be shared with students excluded from the classroom as well. This project is aimed at being cross-curricular in coordination with our science department.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
