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

It's been a very hard transition from distance learning to traditional teaching, back to in the classroom teaching, however, my 7th students are enthusiastic to learn math as best as they could through these times difficult emotional times.

My students attend a Title I public school, with a student population of predominately Hispanic students, with 100% free and reduced price lunch participants.

Most come from a low income home with limited resources, which results in lack of interest in school. I believe they are wonderful students who are creative, passionate, open-minded, and hungry for the curiosity to learn despite the obstacles. They are in the seventh grade and are average 12 years old students. Some are very fortunate to have all necessary electronic devices, and can view the lesson when given without any trouble, some are not and have technical difficulties which requires them to log on and off continuously on their laptop. Though they are now facing a new way of learning and have a hard time participating, they are thrilled to begin a great school year.

My Project

My students need paper and pencil for worksheets in order to build on skills they need to review and move forward in their success in my class. Since we work with a math composition notebook where they take notes and show their work for their warm-ups, my students need composition notebooks to keep their interactive notebook up to date with their notes. They need card stock paper for Geometric projects they will complete towards the end of the unit and Whiteboard markers and dry erase markers are essential in the class as we use whiteboards in the class to show our work.
