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

This year we have several 4th grade students who need a lot of extra support because of their learning disabilities. I believe that making learning fun and accessible is instrumental in keeping students engaged and motivated, especially when it comes to math! Therefore, I am requesting materials for math centers such as fraction whiteboards, dry-erase markers, and math skill visual cards so students can have daily practice on each skill.

Math centers help to reinforce new concepts and provide additional opportunities for practice.

These materials will make a difference by providing resources that create an engaging, hands-on approach to math. My goal is to make sure my students are middle school-ready by the end of the school year. Your support will help us on our journey to becoming strong mathematicians.
