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

I teach in a rural third grade classroom with a diverse student population who wants to learn so many things, but due to the economic status of the families and community, we often lack experiences that are needed to build background understanding and engage students in activities that will keep them interested in learning for years to come.

Some of the goals my students have set for themselves this year include: reading 2 million words by Christmas (this is one student!), researching a rock collection to identify what has been found, and getting used to using their own laptop.

My Project

I would love to integrate the constructor sets into my math centers to help students understand geometry, area, and perimeter. Letting them create two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures will help those who struggle with the differences between these concepts.

I think my students would love the Dogpile and Catstacks games for visual problem solving and I would love to apply the geometric names to the figures to write about what images were created from composing the shapes.

Clumsy Thief will be a great chance to sneak in the needed fact fluency practice of adding within 100.

While the other resources we would love to add to our classroom are heavily based in math concepts, I would love to literally and metaphorically build a greater teamwork and critical thinking with the KEVA block kits.

I would love to see my students initially struggle with all these new resources and be able to be there to watch and cheer them on to dig deep to succeed!
