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 Project

My students are eager young mathematicians, but they need a few supplies to help with instruction. We spend too much time searching for pencils. Our dry erase boards are a haphazard, incomplete set. With a few necessities, our lessons can reach more students in a diverse class of fourth graders.

By providing basic necessities, and adding some fun incentives, we can maximize the last months of fourth grade together.

A simple colorful pencil or cute eraser can engage a student who doesn't feel confident sharing in class. A blank whiteboard can allow everyone, from the gifted to those just learning numbers, to think critically and engage with mathematical solutions.

The whiteboard and pencil supplies requested will help our classroom run smoothly each day. There was no stipend for classroom supplies this year, so I need help providing consumables. I am also asking for upgraded whiteboards that support math skills in small groups and stations. By using the whiteboards and supplies, I can implement daily number talks with 100% participation.
