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 Students
I teach in a high need public school with limited resources. Most of the students in my school come from low-income families and are faced with many challenges in their lives. Yet they come to school ready to learn and absorb new knowledge.
School is a place where they can experience the world around them through engaging lessons which include books, digital media, art and conversations.
My students are very eager and active students who are full of energy. They need all the support and encouragement the school community can provide.
My Project
Many of my first graders lack basic foundational math skills. Hands-on experiences with tools are essential in order for them to develop these skills.
My students will use the rekenreks to develop and strengthen foundational math skills needed to be successful in meeting grade level standards.
Rekenreks are unique tools that provide hands on experiences. These particular rekenreks are great for my students to count to 20, compare numbers and decompose numbers. They are even an amazing tool for adding and subtracting! I will use the giant magnetic rekenrek in lessons to model how to use to solve problems in math.
My students will use the rekenreks collaboratively and independently to solve real world math problems.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
