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
My school is an inner-city school. We serve a diverse population of students and families.
We serve a student population of English Language Learners and with many students living at or below the poverty line.
Since our school serves a very high population of economically disadvantaged families who face many unique challenges, the staff at the school partners with families to not only support students' academic needs but social and emotional needs as well. Despite language barriers, they come to school eager to learn.
My Project
My students need work in number concepts. Having a class set of magnetic boards will give all students a chance to work independently and not have to share materials. With the other set of magnetic tens frames students will be able to use their own board in small groups and they will be easy to sanitize between groups.
Number concepts is so important in Kindergarten because it sets up their skills to be able to understand basic addition and subtraction.
When we use tens frames we are able to visually see the how addition and subtraction works.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
