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 Project

I teach a diverse population of students, including honors, special education, and English language learners from many different cultural backgrounds and with different educational needs. We are a Title I school, meaning students come from lower socio-economic circumstances. I teach mathematics to three seventh-grade classes yearly, with thirty students in each class. I teach many newcomer students who have just come over, have little to no supplies, and need a lot of support.

Basic supplies are the key to success in the math classroom!

These supplies are to help my students have an inviting and friendly learning environment to learn and be part of my classroom! The paper towels and wipes will be used to keep our classrooms clean and student friendly through out the school year. The chargers will help us keep our laptops charged though out the school day!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
