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 are some of the spunkiest kids you will meet, especially when given the right environment. They come from low-income households, many with very little parental understanding or support. We have a high population of ELL (English Language Learners), so several families experience language barriers at home and are unable to help. But these kids are so eager to please and love learning. They know how important it is to try their hardest, and they are happy to do so when given the right resources. Therefore, it is important learning is made fun and easy for them, and that is imperative now more than ever! I don't want them to get behind or fall through the cracks over this unprecedented & difficult time from which we are recovering.
Being a middle school teacher, I am not only preparing my students for the high school, but for life!
Some may not go on to graduate, so the lessons they learn now need to stick with them for the long haul.
My Project
For the 1st time, I am teaching an Enriched Math Class. These brilliant little minds LOVE math, and I want to make this year memorable and meaningful for all of us. I have several project-based learning activities planned for these eager “Mathemagicians”, but it would be so incredible to have a drafting program, allowing students to sketch ideas and print them out for reference. This iPad would give our class that special opportunity, not just this year but for many years to come. The addition of an Apple Pencil will allow for accurate student sketches. And of course, the protection plan will give me peace of mind in making sure the equipment is always safe from minor mishaps. The students will be so excited for this adventure!
