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 teach at a predominately latinx 6-12 college prep school in East Las Vegas (a city in which you usually only hear about tourism). The theme of our school is Team, Love & Family, working as a unit to help others and ourselves reach out full potential so that we can all experience growth no matter where we started. In this extremely small school, my students are growing, learning, and continuously expanding their goals.

The driving purpose behind our instruction and our students participation is getting to AND through college; our students are expected to not only improve their comprehension of the subjects but also prepare to be independent, higher learners.

Because of this our students are fully committed and dedicated to reaching their academic goals and expanding their learning. They're curious, adventurous, determined, aspirational, and grateful. They thank everyone and everything because they understand the gift of strong education and the impact it can have on their futures. My students are hungry to learn and know for a fact they're going to reach their dreams because they won't stop until they get there.

My Project

Mathematics is a skill that garners 2 reaction, adoration or apathy. Students who see the beauty in math are usually those who are given the appropriate tools and instruction early enough to grasp a comprehensive understanding of the basic topics such as 1-12 multiplication. Students who are not able to strengthen their conceptual understanding of math find themselves lost within the increasing difficult classes. This can be caused by lack of access to knowledge and appropriate tools. Having access to pens, markers, spiral notebooks, tape and pencils can help bridge this gap. Furthermore, students who feel uncomfortable and disengaged in the classroom can find a more comfortable and organized space where they can pick up missed work from an organized file cabinet, with warm lighting through a lamp and emergency snacks for hungry students. Please help give my students the environment they need to grow.
