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 eighth grade scholars are excited about what mathematics has to offer. They strive to do their best and love to work in collaborative groups to solve math problems or work on projects. My scholars motivate and support each other throughout the learning process. Each scholar works to meet their academic potential with support from myself and our eighth grade team of educators, as well as the administrators and their peers.
They are a diverse group comprised of different ethnic backgrounds, learning needs, and language barriers.
These scholars reside in a high poverty area and unfortunately, many of these children do not have a two-parent household. Their reality is often a struggle to obtain nutrition and suitable clothing. As a result, having the tools for academic success takes a backseat.
My school has been recognized as a high achieving school, and we would like that to become a trend that evolves into an expectation of success. We want to ensure that our scholars are provided with the opportunities to learn and compete in such a competitive workforce and world.
My Project
Interactive Math Notebooks help my students gain a deeper understanding of the content while allowing them to be creative. My students begin each year by creating a table of contents in their notebooks so that it is organized and they are easily able to find the notes they need. Creating the notebook allows my students to take a brain break before note-taking. They are cutting, folding, gluing, coloring and decorating their own notebooks, which gives them a sense of pride. Many continue to use their notebook as a reference tool in high school! In order to create their notebooks, they need sturdy composition notebooks, and a replenishment of glue.
Organization is essential for my students to be successful in school.
The folders requested in this project are an additional way to help my students stay organized. They do not have lockers and transitions occur quickly. Keeping all their assignments and papers organized by subject in this one folder will assist with this. This is particularly helpful for our Special Education Students and our English Language Learners.
