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 love math" is a typical phrase you'll hear around the 6th grade. Students sing multiplication chants, collaborate on challenging problems, and cheer each other on when we find a solution. We even cheer for mistakes because we learn from our mistakes. This is all to reach our BIG GOAL - College.

My students are amazing.

They are creative, compassionate, resourceful, and most of all, driven. Their curiosity and dedication to their understanding of mathematics is inspiring. A day doesn't pass where a student will go home and research a discussion topic from class then bring back their newfound knowledge: Did you know that there are an infinite number of multiples of any number or that the number 1 is neither prime nor composite? My students live in the densely populated neighborhood of Washington Heights in New York City. They all qualify for free lunch, based on Federal standards of poverty. Most speak a language other than English at home and a significant number of my students have special education services as part of their educational plan. Upon entering our middle school in 6th grade, students are 2 years behind in reading and mathematics. They all plan to attend college and will likely be the first generation in their family to do so.

My Project

I am requesting 1 large dry erase board. A large white board is paramount in taking our learning to the next level. Currently, we have a chalkboard that can not be used due to dust and chalk allergies. Students need a place where they can model their work and present strategies. The white board also has a grid that will provide visuals and precision when we begin graphing.

Students all learn differently and providing multiple entry points for each child is a necessary part of teaching.

This white board will get my students to take ownership of their learning as they can model, present, and discuss their work with classmates.
