Help me give my students activities and materials from TeachersPayTeachers that will allow engagement for both virtual and in-person students.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Furman's classroom raised $164

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
The students in my school are very diverse. I have students who have grown up all over the country, and I have other students who have never left our state. Students speak multiple languages at home, and some students are still learning English.
One thing all of my students have in common is that their high school diploma will open doors to the future—doors that may not have been available to their parents and grandparents.
All of our students will complete four years of math prior to graduation.
Our students are kind citizens. Instead of a senior prank, our senior class participates in 'Prank it Forward,' where they pay it forward and raise money for a community member in need. Whether it's a fellow classmate battling cancer, an elementary school student with an undiagnosed medical ailment, or a family who has experienced a tragedy, our students believe in kindness and inclusion. These are the role models that my freshmen look up to, and as they get their turn as seniors, those are the shoes they have to fill.
My Project
Our Algebra classes this year are comprised of a mix of in-person and virtual learners. While we are able to use technology to provide live lessons to all students simultaneously, the activities that we utilize in the in-person versus virtual classroom need to take different forms. We as an Algebra team have in previous years spent an extensive amount of time creating lessons and materials for our in-person classes, but now we need to shift that to the virtual classroom overnight. While we done just that in the first quarter, it has been very time consuming. And, that extra time spent creating these virtual activities from scratch is time that is not spent working with students, contacting parents/guardians, or providing feedback on student work.
A Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow us to purchase some of the digital activities rather than creating them from scratch, allowing us to recommit our time to working with our students.
Our Algebra classes this year are co-teach classes, with both general and special education teachers supporting individual student needs or learning differences. This means that in a daily lesson, we might use 3-5 different activities when we take into consideration different student learning styles, different pre-requisite skills. Add in the virtual and in-person learning formats and we are now creating 6+ activities per day!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
