Help me give my students math tool-kits using supply cases, cubes, and counters that they could use at home for distance learning.

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
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." ~ Dr. Seuss. This quote sums up the goal I have for my students. I have 24 amazing first graders who live in a low-income, high poverty area where they face many challenges in their daily lives, but they love and miss school!
My goal is to instill in each child a love of learning and the belief that they can do anything!
This year my students had to deal with the challenges of distance learning. Many of my students lacked the necessary technology they needed to be able to participate fully while trying to learn from home. They missed school and the stability it provided them. They always came to school excited and ready to learn. My desire has been to provide them all I could during this difficult time so that they could still feel loved and cared for.
My Project
We know that students learn best with hands on activities. Looking ahead to the fall and the potential for a mix of both in school and at home distance learning I want to be able to give my students math tool-kits that they could have at home. They would be able to continue to learn while at home. My goal is to give each child a set of math tool-kits filled with math manipulatives to help them succeed.
My hope is to give my students these tools so that they can continue to learn and strive whether they are in school or at home.
They would have a math tool kit at home where they can continue to engage in fun, hands-on learning activities. I will print and laminate math games and resources as well as including the math manipulatives. These will be used together to allow my students to understand math skills and to build a solid foundation.
