Rejuvenate, Enjoy, and Learn Mathematics

Help me give my students a clean calming learning environment with cleaning materials and aroma diffuser. The posters and wall decorations help with motivation. The calculators, scissors, and pencils are tools needed to learn mathematics.

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 students are in 8th grade and attend an older Title 1 public middle school in Southern California. Title 1 schools are in areas with low socioeconomic areas and receive federal funding so all its students receive free or reduced lunch. Many of our student do not enjoy math when they come into our 8th grade classes. They have many outside factors that distract their learning. Our classroom is in an older building and cleanliness is always a challenge.

Our student body is very diverse and supports a variety of cultures and languages.

Students in my class range from gifted and talented to students with learning disabilities, and everything in between. This project will help create a warm inviting learning environment where all students feel successful. My ultimate goal is to improve the environment where basic skills, content core topics, and a love for mathematics can be nurtured.

My Project

The supplies allow the students to come prepared for learning. The pencils and lead will be used daily for computations and the scissors will be used for projects. The decorations for the room will provide a soothing learning environment since our current classroom is very dated and old. The diffuser will assist with the smell and overall calming effect of the classroom. The cleaning supplies allow us to make sure the room is germ free so students do not get sick. The calculators are to assist in the daily computations students make so they can check their progress to successfully mastering mathematics.
