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 always start my class with a class chant where my students shout and cheer that they are “brave, smart, and unstoppable”. As their teacher this year, I am beyond proud of what they can accomplish under the strain of the year 2020—a year we are not soon to forget. What my kids lack in technology and resources, they make up with their boundless determination and resilience. I only teach math and science--the goal is for all 46 of my students to have math manipulatives to strengthen their learning!
Half of my students are learning from home and half are in the classroom with me—my absolute hope is that I can provide a classroom environment that is both positive and meaningful.
My Project
It is widely known that students learn BEST by manipulating objects to explore their understanding. I am asking for math manipulatives for all 46 of my first-graders. I have 46 students--half are learning from home and half are in the classroom with me. My kids come from social-economically disadvantaged households--their ability and my ability to get math manipulatives has been extremely difficult. The goal is to learn math objectives in a hands-on type of manner while maintaining the safety guidelines set forth during these turbulent times we live in. Base-ten blocks and mini clocks are all wonderfully appropriate and HELPFUL for both virtual and face-to-face students to truly establish a hands-on experience.
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
