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 Project

I am writing to share with you the importance of student thinking in a mathematics classroom and how the whiteboards I am requesting will make a difference in their learning.

Studies have shown that vertical non-permanent surfaces (whiteboards) have transformed the way students work in math by not only encouraging but supporting thinking.

My goal for this project is to provide an alternative to pen a paper for my students to facilitate their learning. I aim to create a supportive and interactive learning environment that encourages all students to THINK, participate and share their ideas. By doing so, I hope to increase engagement and motivation, leading to improved academic performance.

Our students are special because they come from diverse backgrounds and have unique learning needs. By providing them with the necessary tools, I believe that every student can reach their full potential. With your support, we can create a classroom environment where every student can thrive and succeed.

Thank you for considering my request for whiteboards. Your contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of our students.
