My students need instructional materials such as magnets, puzzles, and stampers to engage with to increase both interest in and enjoyment of mathematics.
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 preschool students are children who are three to five years of age. My school is in sunny San Pedro, California. The children from San Pedro come to school each morning ready to learn and grow. There is never a dull moment in our class; my students are busy bees moving from one interest area to another. They are eager to learn, explore, and experiment with the instructional materials and centers I set up for them. We need more materials for the children to engage with, materials that will foster their interest in technology, literacy, math, science, art, and engineering.
My Project
My students will learn number recognition and develop counting skills while engaging with the Learn to Count picture puzzles and Number Sequencing puzzles. While building with the 3-D Magnet Builders and Crystal Building Blocks, my students mathematical skills will be supported and strengthened in concepts such as measurement, comparison, number estimation, symmetry and balance. My student's will build number skills as the they sift and make exciting number shell discoveries with every scoop at the sand table. The sort a shape activity board will allow my youngest students to learn colors, shapes and sorting skills as they fit various shape pieces into place.
