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
As a teacher in a low-income school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are creative, intelligent and very spontaneous.
They like to move, they love math and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire my students to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
Last week my district made the change from remote to hybrid learning. As this is an adjustment for students and teachers alike, I am doing my best to ensure the education of my students remains as consistent and normal as possible.
As a middle school teacher with rotating classes, it is important that students have a place in each classroom for their materials.
My students will be able to keep their math materials in their individual baskets. Introducing a rolling cart to my new teaching style will allow me to use the wireless keyboard and mouse from different areas of my room. I will be able to interact with kids by taking these materials with me around the room! Lastly, having a colored printer will allow my students to see their projects come to life, in color.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
