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 absolutely adore my students' resilience and determination. Despite facing challenges, they approach each day with courage and a willingness to learn. Each resource we're requesting plays a crucial role in supporting their growth in math. Markers and pencils provide them with the tools to express their ideas and work through problems. Notebooks offer a space for them to organize their thoughts and track their progress. Math learning resources such as money bingo and manipulatives bring abstract concepts to life, offering hands-on experiences that deepen understanding. My goal for this project is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where every student feels empowered to succeed in math. These supplies will make a significant difference in their learning by providing them with the resources they need to overcome challenges and build confidence in their math abilities.
