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 Students

I teach a diverse population of students ranging from honors, special education, and English language learners who come from many different cultural backgrounds and educational needs. We are a Title I school which means that students come from many different social and economic circumstances. I teach seventh grade to three different mathematics classes every year with thirty students. My students are located mostly in the Elmhurst and Corona area of Queens which has been hit very hard by this pandemic. Many are home and trying their best to keep up with the demands of remote learning. Technology is a major issue for many families. Many are using their cell phones since it is the only technology they have available to them and some have had their computers break down as schools have been shut down.

My students strive to live like leaders.

My students are motivated to succeed. They take pride in their education and work hard to thrive in my math class. We talk like scholars, write like experts, think like innovators, and live like leaders.

My Project

My students need these cleaning materials so that they can learn in a clean environment during these difficult times. Many students do not have the cleaning supplies they need at home to be able to learn and focus on their work during this pandemic.

A clean learning environments is the key to success!

I want all my students to feel comfortable when we are doing blended learning in the fall. I want to provide them with the necessary cleaning supplies to feel comfortable whether they are at home or in the classroom since we will be doing a combination of both. They need these materials to feel comfortable at home and in school so they can focus on learning mathematics.
