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

My kindergarten students are bright, curious, and full of energy. They learn best through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. I want to give them opportunities to develop their math and critical thinking skills in fun and meaningful ways.

With your support, I will create engaging math centers that include activities for counting, sorting, shapes, and early addition.

These centers will allow my students to work independently or with partners while practicing important math concepts at their own pace.

I’m also requesting magnetic tiles, which are perfect for building, problem-solving, and learning about shapes and spatial awareness. Kids love using them, and they help strengthen fine motor skills and creativity.

These materials will make math time exciting, interactive, and joyful. Your support will help build strong foundations in math while keeping my students motivated and excited to learn every day!
