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

Do you remember learning math through pages of worksheets or with exciting hands-on materials like tan grams and magnetic coins? Help make math the most exciting subject for my second graders!

I teach 2nd grade to an amazing group of low-income students in California.

Though almost 90% of the students at our school receive free lunch, they are showing amazing growth and working very hard to learn each day. Last year, our school was excited to learn that we had some of the largest academic gains of any elementary school in the entire school district.

My Project

Though we have had a lot of success, we still have a very long way to go to give these students the excellent education they deserve! One of the struggles in my classroom is making sure all students are on grade level in math. We need hands-on materials that make learning concrete and enjoyable. Tough concepts, like place value and money, call for engaging manipulative, like large blocks and coin BINGO.

With some key math hands-on materials, my students will be able to master key second grade standards and will develop a love of math!

Your help will ensure a year of success for my students.
