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 dream big! They inspire me every day to help them achieve their unique dreams and goals. Without basic school supplies, we find challenges that you can help us overcome!

I teach three ultra-inspiring 7th grade classes in what is considered an "economically-disadvantaged" middle school.

Extra money is not something that my students and their parents/guardians regularly have, if ever. I keep aware of this, and make my school supply list very short and sweet for my kids, knowing that inevitably I will end up purchasing notebooks, paper, pencils, erasers, and such out of my own pocket to help some students. I cannot "require" my students to continually purchase additional supplies as they are consumed in the production of works of mathematical art. This is the challenge I face in helping students develop senses of mathematics proficiency - a regular lack of availability of basic pedagogical materials.

My Project

My middle school students continuously work on creating high school portfolios that they will bring with them on interviews that will determine their future successes. Once complete with the mathematical part of their portfolio, my artistic students love to design cover pages for them, incorporating media and design elements by which they are inspired. We have officially run out of graph paper and copy paper! In the meantime, I am relying on borrowing from fellow teachers and purchasing on my own. I am requesting a supply of graph and copy paper for the remainder of the year, all of which will serve my students in the creation of their mathematics portfolios for high school application. The school at which I work is specifically lacking in the ability to provide students with access to basic materials in a sustainable fashion.

When my students have consistent access to basic supplies, their outlook will be positively affected in that they will be empowered to confidently create portfolio pieces that will display their creative and mathematics prowess.

They will be able to express their unique selves artistically and show their classmates examples of their hard work and dedication.
