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

My ninth grade Algebra students all have such unique personalities and all come from very diverse backgrounds. Although we are a low-income, high poverty urban school, my students come ready to learn everyday. In my classroom, we have fun doing engaging projects and working with one another. Having students of various backgrounds and who have various interests makes for a very lively classroom environment. As a teacher, my goal for these students is to make their time in my classroom as positive as it can be.

I love coming to school everyday because I love to see my students excited to learn and ready for a new challenge.

I hope to be able to incorporate math manipulatives, hands-on activities and as much technology as I can in my classroom to ensure the students are enjoying the learning that is happened.

My Project

The supplies that I am asking for will make my students want to be more engaged and active in class which will allow them to be successful in math. The whiteboards and the chart paper will be allow for the students to become the teachers. The goal is that they will be able to use the block time to get up, move around, and work together all while learning. Both of these supplies will allow for more group projects and assessments and more opportunity for students to share our physically rather than answering verbally at their desk.

I want my students to learn by doing and I feel that these supplies are a necessity to a successful collaborative and engaging environment.

With these supplies I hope to decrease any level of math anxiety and make students feel more comfortable and more involved in my classroom. The tennis balls will allow for quiet seating so that we can move around in class without disrupting one another or any other classroom in our hallway.
