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

Help me fund materials for my students' interactive, fun, and age-appropriate small-group learning. I am working towards National Board Certification and learning new, innovative, research-based, student-centered knowledge! I can't just keep it in my head! Please help me get my students materials for small groups and math work.

With your support, I can take my small groups to the next level with these manipulatives; my students will explore phonetic awareness & math concepts in play-based lessons!

The wikki sticks, geoboards, ten-frames, mini building blocks, and suction toys will help my students practice counting, sorting, patterning, subitizing, and so much more while playing. The lamination silaba games will help me introduce silabas to my dual-language students!

My students will think they are "playing," but you and I will know they are using play to move math rules into their schema.
