Celebrating 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 ages 8-9. The majority of my students are ELL (English Language Learners) whose parents work most of the day and into the evening. They spend most of their day in school, and in after-school programs. Sadly, my students do not get a lot of adult attention or support and come to school in need of emotional support as well as academic support.
The students that I have are hardworking, determined, grateful, and curious.
These are just a few words that describe the amazing young people that enter my classroom each day.
My students try to learn to the best of their abilities but need a lot of small group work. They are eager to learn yet oftentimes when they leave here they no longer have the English support they need. I try to engage my students in the classroom as much as I can by providing a variety of activities and send them with things to do at home to support the work we did in class. They are our future, and I want to give them a great start to their long successful careers.
My Project
My students need math folder games to help them master the math standards that we are learning in class. These Math Folder Game Libraries will help my students to use manipulatives while practicing skills we are learning in class. Each library features 10 different games that target key math standards—so children get the practice they need to really master math skills. The cuisenaire rods are mathematics learning aids for students that provide an hands-on way to explore mathematics and learn mathematical concepts.
Allowing students to have fun practicing skills we are learning in class is an important factor in their engagement.
Making learning fun will help my students to get excited about learning and help them to remember the important math standards we are learning in class.
The problem solving cards will allow my students to find different ways of solving a problem while improving their critical thinking skills. These cards will help my students when it is time for testing because they will know how to solve and explain how they solved math problems in different ways.
