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

My students need your help! I have various learning levels all the way from Kindergarten through 3rd grade and my classroom lacks math manipulatives that can help all these different learners. I am a first year teacher working in a Title One, inner city school and we rely heavily on donations.

I plan to use these manipulatives for direct instruction and in small groups, which I know will help my students learn on a more visual and concrete level.

Many struggle in math because they are lacking fluency in numbers and having visual, tangible items will help keep them engaged and increase their learning.
