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 Students

I will soon begin my first year of teaching as a high school math teacher at a local high school. I am so excited to get started, and share this project with you in order to help me do so! Please help me in creating the best possible learning environment adaptable to the individual needs of all my amazing students!

I want to use the materials to create a safe, fun, and welcoming learning environment where my students can achieve their highest potential.

My students are capable young adults, and I want to create a space to support their learning in the best way possible.

My Project

All the materials in my Amazon cart will be used to decorate and organize my classroom, as well as provide students with the necessary resources to be successful in my math classroom.

I want to change students discouraged fixed mindsets about math by creating a welcoming classroom learning environment for engaging lessons.

Please help me to create a classroom where students can be excited, and curious about math, and where they will learn problem-solving strategies and grit through interactive lessons. Though I have already began to chip away at my classroom supply checklist, I would appreciate any and all help in finishing the rest of my project! Thanks to everyone!
