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.
"Teachers who love teaching, teach children who love learning." As I enter my twentieth year of teaching, I continue to follow this mantra in my classroom. I teach twenty-eight, wonderful students who come from poverty. My students are from varying ethnic backgrounds. Most of them come from homes that are struggling financially.
My students are extremely motivated and they are genuinely respectful of each other.
They are lovers of learning and I am truly grateful to be their teacher this year. They come to school with smiles on their faces and they are eager to learn.
My Project
My students need Rekenreks to use during math. Rekenreks feature two rows of 10 beads, each broken into two sets of five. These Rekenreks will help the students develop number sense. My first-grade students are learning how to add and subtract numbers up to 20. The students benefit from using visual manipulatives, such as counters and linking cubes. These visuals are valuable tools to help the students add and subtract.
These bead racks offer students a hands-on, concrete way to illustrate their math thinking.These Rekenreks would be another tool the students can use to help them add and subtract numbers.
