Mark'em Up Kits for Students

Help me give my students the opportunity to each use the same colors of highlighters while annotating articles, projects, and working in collaborative groups. We will be able to replace some of the broken tape dispensers too!

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

My students are refugees, immigrants, homeless, foster youth - the poorest of the poor in our city. Our school is one of the lowest performing in the state, yet teachers, administrators, and staff are working to improve the learning conditions and change the culture on campus, and our students are getting on board

The equipment we have is outdated and new technology is hard to come by.

I have had to purchase some of my own equipment but I need more!

My Project

After seeing how some of the other teachers on campus use color coded notations and strategies, I would like to be able to provide each student a set of highlighters to be used in class.

The students will be able to use the same color of annotation as I do and will not have to share markers, which can be difficult for students who are still learning the English language.

Currently, all the students share the same 5 colors in their table groups which can make it difficult to do annotations, especially if they cannot all use the same color strategies that I use due to the limited color selection. In addition, we will be able to replace some of the older and broken tape dispensers that we have for our interactive notebooking we do in Biology.
