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 Project

I currently teach sixth grade Math in a low-income middle school. Our students still have academic gaps and need extra support after class. It is a challenge for teachers to keep students engaged during tutoring hours because many of them will be hungry and they don't want to stay. That is why I'm asking for your support to provide snacks for them to keep them coming after school. Snacks and stickers also are incentives for them during instruction.

The writing tablets are for them to show their math work in a fun way other than paper and pencil.During tutoring, we usually practice test problems and I will use the Mr Potatoes as a review strategy, students who correctly answer a question get a piece to build their own Mr Potato, the more answers they get correct the more pieces they can get for their design.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Ms. Zamora
Grades 6-8
