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 learners are amazing kids who have a few struggles in life. School supplies are difficult to come by for many families, but the learners still have a love for learning. Completing math problems on whiteboards is always a great way to engage my learners into working hard individually, and working together to help each other with their mistakes.

My Project

With this strange year of COVID-19, we are unable to do our regular projects, group work, and activities that make up the year. To help engage students in math, I will be implementing "whiteboard days," where students will use personal whiteboards and markers to complete work for me to see, from a safe distance. Students love having these whiteboard days to complete math problems, and work on their artistry on the side.

Unfortunately, with 150 students, whiteboard markers dry out quickly and get thrown away.

The funding of these markers will allow for a longer supply to get us through the year.
