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 love to learn and learn best through hands on activities. My students are lots of English Language Learners that benefit from hands on materials. My students have a wide range of abilities. I have 3 students that read at a 2nd grade level and 3 students that don’t know their letter name and sounds and can’t write their name. I have some students that know all their numbers up to 100 and some students that can’t write their numbers to 10. Covid forced them to learn on their own from their homes on distance learning. Unfortunately, they lack support and resources at home and most are behind in their reading and math skills.

My Project

Struggling readers and mathematicians need engaging materials to get them excited about learning. These supplies, manipulatives, and activities will help my students master adding and subtracting within 20 (Math 1.OA.C6), telling time (Math 1.MD.B3), phonological awareness (ELA RF.1.2), and phonics and word recognition (ELA RF 1.3). The math manipulative are interactive pens (hot dots and power pens) that can be used to make adding, subtracting, and telling time fun. The hot dots and power pens also have phonics activities to help with reading. The magnetic letters will make phonics fun as well. Sight words bingo will be the perfect way to practice sight words and enhance their reading skills. The batteries are for the hot dots and power pens that are interactive and make learning fun. The pens work on all the flash cards for math and literacy skills. The sensory learning kits will give my students hands on learning materials to improve their reading skills. All of these are skills my students are lacking due to COVID and being forced to learn from home with distance learning. These supplies will give my students fun and exciting ways to practice their reading and math skills and get caught up on the learning they have missed due to COVID.
