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 Students

We have a group of 16 pre-kindergarten students who are at such a young, vulnerable and inspiring age. This wonderful group of students consists of general education students, students with disabilities and students with native languages other than English. In our inclusion classroom, students come to school daily to play and work together to learn how to become good friends and brilliant learners.

Our elementary school is a Title I school with majority low-income students in central Austin.

Our students are socially, racially, and economically diverse. Almost 20% of our students are receiving special education services. Each of our students loves coming to school every day because school gives them the opportunity to communicate, grow and learn in a secure and loving environment. We are determined to make our classroom the most inviting and enjoyable space possible so that students can grow with a love for learning.

My Project

I am requesting a variety of math manipulatives and activities for our classroom learning centers. Our students will use these materials in various parts of our classroom and schedule. These hands-on math materials will engage students in play, practice and collaborative learning.

The magnetic puzzles and learning rods will work on both math concepts and build fine motor skills.

Students will use the light table math trays and manipulatives to also work on social and communication skills while working with friends at the light table. Counting cars and number sponge painters will work on numeracy skills. Using the number sponge painters in our art center will allow students to use their creativity to learn number recognition!
