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 Project
I have two classes that I teach math and content area to. My students come from low income and diverse backgrounds. They are full of life and imagination. Many come from other countries which don't speak English. They arrive to our country with very little and hoping for a lot. They are unsure of their surroundings and who to trust. I try to make them feel safe and welcome.
My students are always eager to learn, especially when they can put their hands on the project.
They begin the year with minimal knowledge of number sense or place value. I will use these manipulatives in whole group as well as small groups to instill these concepts to my students. The dry erase paddles will be used by the students during whole and small groups to show their math answers. The dry erase place value mats will be helpful to instruct students with place value in addition and subtraction. Tens frames are prevalent in our math books. If each child is able handle one it will greatly help in their understanding of its use. The dominoes and unifix cubes will be used for addition and subtraction centers. All of these manipulatives will greatly enhance my students acquisition of basic math skills.
More than half of students from low‑income households
