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
Have you even been asked to edit or proofread your essay? It is hard for an adult to find what is grammatically wrong with one's own writing. Editing is also the hardest skill an elementary student can be asked to do. Writing can be fun but teachers have to make the lessons fun and engaging.
My students are smart, driven, and very verbal.
They are 95% Hispanic and 5% African American. Most of them do not have a computer or other technology at home. Our school provides a safe environment away from gangs and other socioeconomic limitations. They are exposed to violence and socioeconomic limitations, like lack of food, that others take for granted. In my classroom, they get to dream because the sky is the limit. They've planned future traveling plans, designed their dream homes, and have become celebrated community heroes. The classroom is a safe haven where dreaming high is encouraged. Nothing is impossible when they dream, write, and share their future plans. My students thrive as enthusiastic learners because they are provided with the right education and memories that will last a lifetime. As an educator that's my life-long goal, to continue providing an environment conducive to learning.
My Project
Math is fun and awesome. Math can be so much more than just numbers! A lot of students are scared and struggle due to fear. It doesn't have to be a challenging subject especially when games and hands on lessons are provided for our little ones. I want my students to enjoy Math while learning at the same time. Students learn best when they get their hands on manipulatives and get to solve problems on their own. Math manipulatives are one way for students to learn math in a fun way through hands on lessons!
I have requested math manipulatives such as Educational Insights Hot Dots Math Flash Cards Multiplication & Educational Insights Hot Dots Math Flash Cards Division. All of these supplies will enhance Math skills while having fun! The Hot Dots material will be available at a Math Center for my students to practice and review learned skills. The mastering of basic multiplication and division facts in the third grade & fourth grade are necessary for my students to be successful in math.
My students have creative minds and just need extra assistance to get it into Math and loving it.
Your donations will allow my students to practice the Math skills they need to become great students and help them become successful as they advance through school and life.
