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.
I am a first-grade teacher at an inner-city school. I am privileged to work with twenty-eight amazing children who are eager to learn and use any learning tools they are given. My students have a tremendous amount of learning to do this upcoming year, and most of it happens from repetition and practice.
They like to read, participate, and ask questions!
Working as an elementary teacher in a low-income and high poverty inner-city district is challenging itself. My students face several challenges, both in and out of the classroom. Whichever challenge they meet, I strive to provide my students with the creative and meaningful learning experience they deserve!
My Project
My students desperately need rekenreks to use during math time. These rekenreks feature 10 rows of 10 beads in red and white, each broken into two sets of five. These rekenreks will aid my class to understand and identify number sense. We are learning how to count up to 20 and then progressing up to 100. These amazing math manipulatives are as beneficial as linking cubes and ten frames.
Being in an inner city school, we unfortunately don't have any resources or math tools for every student; these visual tools will aid my class immensely when counting and doing word problems!
Thank you for supporting my students by knocking down the barrier to resources that is necessary for their success!
I very much appreciate your consideration in this matter and sincerely hope you will view my request favorably and provide the requisite funds.
