Help INSPIRE Students in the Aftermath of Hurricane Harvey
My students need these calculators in order to be successful in my math class and the rest of their math classes through college. These calculators are used on each of the state assessments.

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.
I currently work with middle school students who range from elementary to high school in their math literacy. Our campus and district funds are limited, and most of my kids would be unable to purchase the graphing calculators needed in order to access the material in class and on tests. My students are the most inspirational people in my life. Everyday they deal with circumstances out of their control that would bring me to my knees. They continue to fight for their education and their future. Their drive is inspiring and pushes me to fight for them as much as I can.
Due to Hurricane Harvey my students and their families are focused on surviving, so please help me to give them one thing less to worry about.
While in years past it has been especially difficult to have each family purchase a TI-Enspire CX for their children simply due to financial inability, this year we are facing a challenge unlike any other. This year many of my students have lost everything during the catastrophic flooding that has taken place following the disastrous Hurricane Harvey.
My Project
The resources in our district are limited and it has become impossible for students to cover the necessary difference as a direct result of Hurricane Harvey. While I cannot solve all of the problems this storm has caused for my students I can do everything in my power to give my students a step up and consistency in my classroom to help ease their lives in the aftermath of this catastrophic storm. Having these calculators will give my students the best chance to be successful this year and future years in math.
Having the proper tools to do the job will empower my students to be responsible for their own growth in math.
Because my students are so behind, exploring new concepts and skills in math is frequently a very daunting and overwhelming task. I want to open doors for my kids not just by equipping them with graphing calculators that will allow them to be successful in class and on assessments, but I want to show them how their untapped potential can translate beyond the classroom. Success in math, especially for my kids that think they “just don’t get it”, will foster my students' development as leaders in our community and open doors that they never even knew existed.
