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 Project
Students all learn in different ways and the requested materials will help tailor instruction to meet individual needs.
When we differentiate content, process, products, or the learning environment, the use of ongoing assessment and flexible grouping makes this a successful approach to instruction.
Manipulatives have been used in the classroom for years and they provide a concrete foundation for learning abstract ideas. However, it can be challenging at times to implement the use of manipulatives into your classroom's daily routine.
The materials that have been requested including the following: Comfortable chair cushions, incline slant boards, pull & stretch squeeze balls, fidget sensory toys, liquid motion bubbler‘s, fidget spinners, sensory toys and sensory water beads are very Important factors when I prepare lessons and projects that will require the use of manipulative.
These projects and lessons have been created to orient students to use manipulatives and corresponding classroom procedures.
The lessons involve active participation of each student.The lesson plan includes procedures for evaluations that reflect an emphasis on the development of social reasoning skills.
Thank you such much for your kindness and generosity.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
