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
My students are currently in the eighth grade. I have the opportunity to teach them Algebra and Earth Science this year. I have the wonderful opportunity to teach a self-contained class and work on their individual potential and growth. As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, I see that my students are faced with a plethora of challenges both inside and outside of the school. Especially after going to school during a pandemic. So the minute they step into my class, I focus on closing that academic gap that was brought on during the pandemic.
My students are intelligent, goal-driven young adults whose experiences should not be hindered based on their socioeconomic status.
Instead, they should be creating meaningful experiences with resources that will allow them to unite.
All of my students receive free or reduced-rate lunches based on their socioeconomic status. Oftentimes, their status may not provide them with the materials needed to be successful in the classroom.
My Project
Laminating classroom materials is one of the most cost-effective ways to avoid constant re-printing and waste of paper. In my classroom this school year we will do a lot of charting, practicing, etc., and having laminated sheets that we can use dry-erase markers with will be ESSENTIAL and saves money from making so many copies; in addition, it saves time from standing at a copy machine!
Being able to laminate my materials expands the longevity of my decorations and instructional activities.
Students are able to work on laminated activities (learner-centered activities) using Expo markers, which they thoroughly enjoy!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
