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 Students

As a special education resource teacher, I am blessed to serve special needs students in grades kindergarten through third. I work at a Title I school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of my students come from trauma, have sensory needs, and struggle with focus and learning.

Despite their challenges in life and school, my students are eager to learn and have unlimited potential!

Research has shown that students learn best when they are actively engaged in learning and see real-world connections. I love my students, and I want to provide them with educational experiences to support their learning. My students are incredibly sweet, loving, kind, curious, and love school. I know that my students would blossom as learners using this light tablet and accessories.

My Project

As a special education resource teacher for grades kindergarten through 3rd, I know how much my students thrive with unique, hands-on learning materials. These activities will empower students to have a lifetime of possibilities.

Students will love to use math manipulatives on a light table, and I will love how much they are learning!

The LED tablet is versatile in that it can be used on a table, floor, or loaned out to a classroom. The LED tablet is a fabulous learning tool that enhances sensory play activities.

The transparent chips, dominoes, letters, and bugs are perfect for endless activities and learning experiences such as fine motor, eye-hand coordination, counting, patterning, graphing, problem-solving, cooperative learning, spelling, and so much more! I can also use a dry-erase marker to write the names of coins or money amounts to create a variety of activities to teach financial literacy. In addition, the letters can be used for students to learn how to spell out the names of coins and bills.

Hands-On Student Money Packets will be used to teach coin and bill recognition and value, counting, creating money combinations, problem-solving, and so much more! Students love hands-on materials!

Magnetic Money will be used on the class whiteboard for students for bell work challenges, whole class, and individual instruction, and learning a variety of money skills such as counting by 5's using nickels and students using the magnets to show their answers or teach their peers how to solve a money problem

Math Trays will be used to teach and reinforce essential skills such as sorting, graphing, patterning, etc. In addition, these trays will be used to teach essential money skills using hands-on money sets.

Thank you for your consideration!
