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 aim to incorporate hands-on phonics and math resources to create a more engaging and effective learning experience for my students. By utilizing specific items such as these manipulatives, I believe my students can easily grasp fundamental concepts and retain information better.

My goal is to enhance student understanding by providing resources that cater to various learning styles, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to excel in phonics and math.

Increase student engagement by making learning fun and exciting, motivating students to participate actively in lessons and activities.

Fostering a deeper connection of learning through hands-on experiences, I hope to instill a sense of curiosity and exploration in my students, encouraging them to delve deeper into math and phonics.

My students are special because of their unique strengths, backgrounds, and abilities. They bring diverse perspectives to the classroom, creating a rich learning environment where collaboration and mutual respect thrive. By tailoring resources to meet their needs and interests, I can empower students to reach their full potential and succeed academically.
