Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

My Students

My students are inquisitive and loving children. They come from less than ideal home environments. Our school is a Title I school that consist of students living below the poverty line. We are a safe place for them to share their day with. They need exposure to a variety of topics not available to them in their home environment. My class consists of 20 preschool students with a variety of special needs. They need exposure to learning activities prior to starting kindergarten.

My Project

Our students will receive a math program to assist them at home and school. Happy Numbers builds an individualized math dialogue and responds to students just the way you would: unpacking concepts step-by-step, scaffolding learning, and providing immediate feedback based on student inputs.

Individualized pacing means those who demonstrate mastery progress more quickly, and those who need more instruction receive it.

As a result, students spend most of their time in productive struggle mode (also known as the Zone of Proximal Development), which leads to the greatest learning gains. And to ensure students never get stuck, targeted feedback helps them correct any mistake — students experience mistakes as opportunities for learning!
