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

My students are bright individuals looking for someone to challenge them academically. They come to school everyday, excited to learn something new. The energy they bring into my classroom is what drives their success. They love being challenged, and I am honored to be there as a part of the process.

My students are a very diverse group of learners.

The majority of them are economically disadvantaged, however they always push themselves to reach their best. Even though they are hard workers, there are times where a lack of supplies limits their abilities.

My Project

My students need paper, pencils, and markers to complete in class projects and assignments. They need spinners, counters, and unit cubes to help them visualize various math concepts throughout the year. These materials will greatly help my students gain the confidence they need to succeed. I do not like to see my students have set limits based solely on the fact that they do not have supplies to challenge themselves. I always want to be the one to push them to reach their best, and these supplies will help greatly.

With all of these manipulatives, my students will be able to gain a concrete understanding of a variety of math topics.

From using peg boards for graphing on a coordinate plane, to using colored spinners and dice for probability, the uses for these materials are plentiful.
