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

Want to help build the next greatest mathematician? Help by donating to our Pre-K classroom so that we may gain math manipulatives. We are in charge of providing a wonderful learning experience to our Pre-K classroom. Not only are we a Pre-K classroom but we are a blended classroom that is home to general education students as well as special education students. We have additional needs in our classroom and visual aides and manipulatives are a big part of our little world.

My hope is that we can give these little learners concrete items to help them kinesthetically and visually help them perform and enhance their math skills.

We often provide our students the opportunity to use manipulatives during our whole group, small group, and independent center time. This is the time that our students process and learn and do so a lot better with manipulatives. We want our students to learn and grow and we can do that by providing amazing opportunities for students to practice their math skills. We thank you for considering our project and hope we can accomplish a lot with your donations.
