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

The students at my school are creative, thoughtful and incredibly kind! They absolutely love hands-on, active and engaging projects. They come to school every day eager to learn and with a positive attitude.

My kids have chosen to come to our school for a hands-on educational experience.

An educational experience in which their culture and lifestyles will be embraced in the classroom. Each one of my students is unique, but that's what makes our classroom community all that much better.

My Project

These manipulative will make learning math a fun hands on experience for my students. The common core math curriculum can be difficult for students to understand with out the ability to manipulate things. The understanding of place value and regrouping is hard to visual for many students. The use of place value blocks makes regrouping a much easier concept to understand. The second grade math curriculum also requires students to master measurement in inches and centimeters using both cubes and rulers. With out inch and centimeter cubes or enough rulers for each student this becomes a very difficult task. We have been getting by with paper rulers and cut outs of approximate inch and centimeter cubes but nothing is better than having the correct and true cubes and rulers. Second grade students are also expected to learn about money- coin names, values, and counting coins. How do you do that with out having money? Play money becomes a necessity during our money unit.

In the end, your donations will help my students gain life long knowledge and a love of math.

Math can be boring, but when you add the hands on component of manipulates math becomes more engaging and easier to understand. These manipulative will be used specifically to build their knowledge and mastery of the skill we learn in math class, skills that they will take with them throughout their education and into their adult life.

Your donations will allow my enthusiastic students the ability to grow into the amazing mathematician I know they could be if they had the chance to have fun with math.
