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
My students are ages eight-nine. The majority of my students are ELL (English Language Learners) whose parents work most of the day and into the evening. They spend most of their day in school, and in after-school programs. Sadly, my students do not get a lot of adult attention or support and come to school in need of emotional support as well as academic support.
The students that I have are hardworking, determined, grateful, and curious.
These are just a few words that describe the amazing young people that enter my classroom each day.
My students try to learn to the best of their abilities but need a lot of small group work. They are eager to learn, yet oftentimes when they leave here they no longer have the English support they need. I try to engage my students in the classroom as much as I can by providing a variety of activities and sending them with things to do at home to support the work we did in class. They are our future, and I want to give them a great start to their long, successful careers.
My Project
These magnetic math manipulatives will be great instructional tools for my classroom. These manipulatives will help me model how to use base ten blocks, number lines, pattern blocks, and fraction tiles to solve math problems with my students. They will also make the teaching and learning process more fun and engaging because students will be able to follow along with their desk manipulatives while I model on the board.
These tools will also help my students gain conceptual understanding when dealing with math concepts; that way they will understand the how and the WHY behind mathematics!
These manipulatives with have a positive impact on my instructional practices and my students' mathematical ability!!
