FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Furman's classroom raised $183

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.
One of the biggest hurdles for students is the fact that Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and a fourth year of math, are requirements for 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
My students use a variety of white board surfaces in our classroom. We are thankful for 3 whiteboards on our walls, we have a class set of individual whiteboards that students will use at their desks, and we also use white boards (both working algebra problems and graphing) in collaborative groups at our tables.
It is essential for students, when learning new concepts, to be able to demonstrate their knowledge, and whiteboards make it very easy for students to feel comfortable trying new problems without the fear of making a mistake.
We need new dry erase markers for our white boards.
We also use interactive notebooks in the classroom; these are great and really improve student learning and retention. The downside? We go through a LOT of glue! So, as we approach the start of a new semester, we would like to be able to replenish our supply of glue sticks.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
