My students need counting games, a set of math listening centers, an activity chart, and write and wipe student number lines.

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 Students
What is a number? Why do we use them? How is 6 different from 7? Why is 7 more than 6?
All of these are questions in a kindergarten students mind as they begin to really learn what numbers are. Numbers are an abstract concept and can be helped to learn with hands on activities.
My students are the most eager and lovable bunch of kindergarteners!
They come to school each day ready to learn despite the challenges they face in their community. Our school serves students of low socioeconomic status, over 90% of students receive free/reduced lunch. At Aspire public schools our mission is to send each of our students to a 4 year college after high school graduation. My students have just begun their educational journey and will continue to the year 2027 when they walk off the stage with their college diploma in hand.
My Project
I have requested student and class number lines, math listening library, and various group math games. These materials will be used together as a whole class and during small group instruction and center time.
With our new math materials I will be able to instruct lessons with the class number line as the students follow and track on their own mini number lines. We can discuss not only number order but quantity, number relations, and see how addition/subtraction works as well. When students have a chance to be actively involved in the lesson they have more fun and learn more.
Our new math games will let students work independently during center time which will allow me to pull guided math groups and help students who are struggling in certain math concepts.
All of the new materials will definitely help me teach the abstract concept of numbers.
Most importantly the students will get to work hands on with the materials and get a better understanding of numbers and their uses while engaged in the games and lessons. My students, just as most other young children, love games and the best games are the ones that teach. I hope to get a chance to use these wonderful items with my students!Please help us get the opportunity. We will greatly appreciate it.
