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 creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Sadly, many students in my classroom come in saying they have difficulty completing practice assignments or models for project because of lack of supplies.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to take on the year!

My Project

Students will have a broad range of manipulatives to use while learning about topics. Not only will they receive instruction in class but get to see it unfold and create the problem they are doing.

Math always seems to be a concrete learning experience for kids but with manipulatives it can become hands on and help students who learn from doing and creating.

With our curriculum it has multiple lessons that require manipulatives for the students but we do not have the manipulatives. It makes it very difficult for students to experiment and complete the assignment or look at the visual aspects of it. Allow my students to unleash the full curriculum and learn all that they can this year.
