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 Students

Our school is an exceptional 7-12 grade public charter school. Our students come to us from all walks of life: free and reduced-priced lunch, English language learners, special education needs, and gifted student population.

Many students in my class require modifications and accommodations to meet their needs and help them be academically successful.

I would like to provide these hard working all the tools necessary to make mathematics fun and exciting for them. Several students, whether they have special needs or not, benefit from visual aids. Although my goal is to meet the needs of my students with learning disabilities, these tools will be used by and benefit all my students.

My Project

My students require some basic tools to make mathematics fun and easy to learn. I teach two sections of Algebra I to a group of students with diverse academic skills. I believe that every student should feel successful in a mathematics class. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

I am requesting classroom basics like XY Axis Graph Lap Boards, colored dry erase markers, and graph paper, so all my students, with diverse needs can save time and learn math visually.

Often students, especially those with special needs and other learning disabilities, struggle to work in an organized manner. The graph dry erase boards and paper, will help save time. My students spend way too much time drawing out an inaccurate XY coordinate plane on plain paper. This results in inaccurate visuals, that prevent them from learning.

The colored dry erase markers will help my special needs and all other students, by being able to color code and draw visuals while solving math problems.
