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 third-grade students love technology. They want to use it each and every day in our classroom. Some students do not have access to technology when not in school. This is a disadvantage for them because our world is constantly growing in technology and they need to be up to par for success.
Many are from low-income families.
In addition, the majority of them are ELL learners with English being their second language. They enjoy reading many different types of materials (books, magazines, newspapers, online articles). They are also active in technology. Each student has access to Chromebooks in our 3rd-grade community; however, at all times they may or may not work. Within our school, all of the students receive a free breakfast each and every day. They also have plenty of after school activities for students to join and be a part of. There is even a club for parents to help them get jobs and learn English.
My Project
Within the upcoming school year approaching, we need new math manipulatives. Students are at various levels within my classroom. In addition, we need these items for enrichment and for small group instruction.
Students will be able to these items for real life experiences.
within the classroom. Students will be able to use all of these items independently, in groups, or during small group instruction. Our classroom would have our own items that would not be damaged, lost, etc. compared to the school issued ones.
For example, students struggle with fractions and multiplication skills. The use of these materials will give them a hands-on approach rather than just paper and pencil. Students will be engaged and use all of their senses with the use of these items. They will literally be able to touch numbers!
Both the students and I would be excited to receive these items for the upcoming year with new and fresh ideas in math class.
