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

I teach kindergarten in a neighborhood school. I have 20 creative, energetic, and caring students in my class. We have just returned to the classroom from the virtual setting. My students come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds but we are a school that serves a low income population. Each one of my students are full of great ideas and imaginations. They are a very loving and caring class.

My motto is, busy hands make happy learners and we are busy.

Our classroom is alive with conversation and exploration. The young child learns by doing and we 'do' in my classroom. Some of the best and long lasting learning comes from the child's experimenting with just the right tools.

My Project

Manipulatives bring learning to life. Weather we are learning how to count, join groups of objects together, or take groups apart. Having objects to move makes it real for the young child. We don't use them just for math, but we use them to count syllables, phonemes or how many letters in words, or words in sentences. Anytime children learn by doing it becomes an authentic learning experience

Manipulatives are a staple in my classroom we use them throughout the day.

The kindergarten student's ability to stay focused can sometimes be short. Give that student a task that is fun where they can manipulate objects and use their imagination then they stay focused and learn.
