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
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district in Chicago and former student, I understand that my students are faced with challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. Despite those many challenges, the mathematicians that I enlighten are motivated problem solvers, curious about the world around us and destined for success.
My students are amazing middle schoolers stuck somewhere between cool and fabulous.
Many of my students are bilingual, with English being their second language. They enjoy mathematics, and they are quickly learning the importance of teaching others how to fish instead of simply giving fish to our peers.
Just like most teenagers, my students love technology and socialization, and I want to use their interests to create a more efficient learning environment that fosters collaborative learning, open communication, developing their skills with technology, and access to class materials that promote an inclusive class environment.
My Project
I am a middle school math teacher and often times the young ladies I educate need sanitary napkins. They may forget their own or have an unexpected visitor during the school day. This project will help us be better prepared for the curveballs life can throw.
I would like to create a space within the classroom to discretely store the sanitary napkins which will aid in decreasing the embarrassment many girls have when simply asking for one.
The pouches are for that walk to exit the classroom and then traveling to the washroom. They allow for them to grab what they need in a cute little bag made just for their privacy.
Yes, this is a natural part of life, but the reality is that it’s a private moment and should be handled in a discrete manner.
