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

Although my students come from one of the poorest areas of the South Bronx, they bring a wealth of experiences and ideas to my classroom. They are eager to have meaningful learning opportunities that build upon their interests while teaching the skills necessary to succeed in our technology-driven society.

To say the odds are stacked against my students is an understatement; yet, with the support of caring teachers and other staff members, my students are graduating and moving on to college and successful careers.

Most students enter our school performing below grade level in terms of reading and mathematics. They find themselves subjected to a system of institutional discrimination that makes it difficult for students of color and non-native English speakers to advance.

For my classroom photo, I chose a picture from our most recent graduation to show that my students are capable of great achievements, but they need access to the same resources as their more affluent suburban peers (thank you DonorsChoose.org!) and quality teaching.

My Project

Students use rulers to make measurements all of the time in physics class. Whether measuring the recoil distance of a small cannon or the stopping distance for a braking vehicle, accurate measurements are necessary to create models of phenomena in the world. If measurements are not accurate, students will struggle to see connections between different concepts and to make predictions about the behaviors of objects.

Plastic rulers snap and wooden rulers get worn down and no longer measure accurately.

These stainless steel rulers are more durable and will last for many years to come. They include both metric and imperial units of measurement.
