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
Most of my studentÃÂÃÂs' first language is Spanish. Although they are proficient in English, the language barrier can often still get in the way of learning. I believe in equipping my students with as much as possible and calculators will provide them with another tool to help them be successful.
My students are eager learners that have developed an appreciation for math.
They are 28 very different personalities that make up a great team. My school is located in a urban city north of Chicago Illinois. This group of funny personality likes to have choices when learning math. I try to equip them with many strategies for performing one task. They are maturing and enjoy opportunities to work with groups independently.
My Project
My plan is to empower my students with the use of calculators. Calculators will aid in differentiation and be used with a multitude of math concepts. These items are also hands-on, which supports best teaching strategies. Calculators can be used on state tests, so by providing those opportunities to learn with these tools will improve test scores. It will also boost my studentÃÂÃÂs' confidence by giving students ownership of their work.
My school is big on collaborating and I teach with a team of 4 other teachers and together we service 112 students.
By donating to my cause, you can impact 112 students each year I utilize these materials. I teach in a district where 90% are low income families and education is their ticket out of poverty for their entire family. Please help me be the best teacher I can be by provided more opportunities for my students to master math skills and be successful.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
