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 Students

I have the best group of students any teacher could ask for. Everyone brings in their own special story. My students come from all different walks of life, however, they are all unique in their own way. They are all eager to learn new things.

My Project

Please consider investing in my scholars. We spend a lot of time in second grade talking about place value, place value with regrouping, and counting money. These resources will aid in our education. The ability to use magnetic manipulatives will improve a lesson's engagement. We can send whiteboards and dry-erase markers home to help with the increase in growing our scholars. These resources will help bring math to life! They will really help us in encouraging participation and building fluency within math! We love to have our virtual scholars just as excited as our in-class scholars.
