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
Our students come from Brooklyn, but many students or families have also immigrated from countries in the Caribbean, Yemen and Mali. Our students speak a range of languages such as Spanish, Haitian Creole, Arabic, and Bambara. Our students exude the overall DRIVE values of our school inside and outside the classroom - Determination, Respect, Integrity, Voice, and Engagement. They display a strong love and passion for learning, and show pride in doing the heavy lifting of their learning.
In addition to their overall cultural diverse backgrounds, being that we are teaching in a Inter Collaborative Teaching (ICT) classroom, some of our students have disabilities ranging from ADHD to autism.
We want the best for them just as they want the best for themselves. Having the classroom supplies this year will positively impact their growth academically, socially, and emotionally.
My Project
This is our second year as a departmentalized grade. My co-teacher and I teach in an ICT classroom with a focus on Math and Science. It is our push to make the classroom feel like a more comfortable and interactive space for students to show what they know.
These dry-erase tables will make it so that students can display their mathematical models and algorithms on the table itself!
This will eliminate barriers for students of feeling as though they do not have enough space to model on their practice sheets or needing extra paper. Students will be able to color-code their work with different dry erase markers. Also, it is easy for students to share their thinking with their classmates and classroom teachers as well as facilitate discussion.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
