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 work for the Department of Education of New York City. I have a wonderful bilingual Spanish bridge special education K/1/2 12:1:1 class. My students come from low-income families and it is very difficult for them to get materials. I got an empty classroom and I had to get all the materials for my students. My students are visual learners and are in need of materials that would benefit them. My students struggle with phonics and number recognition and need a lot of support. I completely love these kids, they are the most lovable and smart kids, they are always trying their best and trying to learn. All my students are Spanish speaking.

My Project

My kids struggle with their letter sounds and math concepts. I found them the math and reading cards but we need the Power Pens. While some students work with their power pens, the rest will work with the teacher and use the dry erase markers to write their words, numbers, sentences and more. This is such a fun and engaging activity for them; a super-fun way to build math skills—with instant reinforcement! Kids just touch an answer with the special Power Pen…and the pen tells them if they’re right or wrong.
