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

If anyone was to ask me which grade is the best to teach, I would say 7th grade. Why? They are just so simply awesome. At that age, they have so much curiosity about the world that it helps trigger amazing conversations inside and outside of the classroom.

From Brooklyn, New York, I have the privilege of working with the best of the best in the city!

My math students are ready for any challenge, but most importantly, can integrate mathematics into a rich and well-rounded standards-based program with an emphasis in Arts and Sciences.

My Project

Every single material requested will help make a difference in my students' education. Not only will I be able to teach in different learning styles with the White Board and Graph Board, but I will also be able to teach my students responsible learning and accountability for their own education.

The magnetic folder bins and paper pockets are perfect for placing classwork, and homework inside for students who are absent to grab when they return back to their classroom.

After setting a routine of which class has which color, and where they are located, students will be able to grab their classwork and homework and can be made up when they get back to class.

The Turn In Your Work Organizer and Hard Trays will serve as places where students can drop off completed work, projects, exit tickets, and pick up their classwork folders or portfolios from the hard trays. Once everything is labeled, it will allow students to know where all of their work is stored, and where they can drop it off.
