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

I’m so excited to bring more hands-on math fun into our Pre-K classroom! My amazing 4-year-old students learn best through play, and the manipulatives I’m asking for will help them count, sort, build, and truly experience math in ways that are meaningful and fun.

With these engaging tools my students will explore early math concepts while staying curious, focused, and joyful.

They'll be able to make real connections with numbers, develop problem-solving skills, and grow their confidence with every activity.

I can’t wait to see their faces light up as they discover that math isn’t just something we learn—it’s something we do! Thank you so much for helping us make learning exciting and full of wonder.
