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 Project

I need these Reading and math manipulates to help my students understand the concepts better which are taught to them in the whole Group. The manipulatives will be used during Center time. Students will have the opportunity to work in small groups practice the skills and improve themselves. This would help them to achieve a good grade in their assessments.

Students need engagement, motivation , and encouragement to be successful in everything that they do.

Students will be using hundreds charts to improve their skills on identifying numbers, adding and subtracting. Prefix and suffix activity will help all my students especially English learners understand the difference between the base Word and suffix or prefix.

I will be providing the snack to help them Focus and get motivated to complete their task on a regular basis.

Thank you for taking the time to read my project. I hope your contribution Will help my present as well as my future students.
