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

My classes consist of 32 seventh grade students living in Bronx, NY. Many of my students are English Language Learners. My students are hard-working and want to take full advantage of learning. My students live in lower socio-economic areas and sometimes struggle to come to school with all of the supplies they need. 100% of our students receive free breakfast, lunch, and snacks (small meals) in after-school programs. We also hold Saturday school where students can receive free meals.

My students voluntarily come up during lunch to receive extra assistance in any topic they need.

They volunteer to clean our classroom to ensure their space to learn is kept neat and clean. They are good kids with good hearts and I want to ensure they have all of the resources other students have.

My Project

These books will allow my students to have a math library. I chose 10 of the same book "Everything You Need to Ace Math in One Big Fat Notebook" so up to 10 of my 64 students (per year) can use the book at the same time as a study guide. This book helps break the math down so they are able to better understand it. One of my students approached me at the beginning of the school year to tell me how helpful the book is. She has an "A" average in my class. I want to ensure her less fortunate peers have the same access to such a great book. The remainder of the books put math in an exciting light. Students will be able to read about math in the world around them.

These books pull math out of the academic setting so students can see math in an exciting light.

I chose a wide variety of math topics as well as reading levels as some of my students have yet to master reading English.
