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 at a high poverty school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch! I have high expectations that they will grow and learn beyond what is expected.

School is a safe and happy place for my students.

Each day, they come into the classroom excited about the day and spending time exploring and learning together. For many of my students, being at school is the best part of their day.

My Project

These bubble poppers can be used for SO many different activities in the classroom. I would love to use them in our phonics and math lessons. For phonics, the students can use them to pop things like how many sounds they hear in a word or how many syllables they hear. They can pop a bubble while saying each sound. This method activates the brain through the use of nerve endings in their fingertips and provides direct feedback.

In writing, they could pop how many words are in their sentence.

When they say a sentence out loud to write, we typically use our fingers to count how many words we will write.

In math, they can be used for teaching addition and subtraction story problems.
