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 Project

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, resilience, and the joy they bring to learning, especially when they finally grasp a tough math concept. They come to class each day ready to try, even when things get challenging. Their enthusiasm for learning reminds me why teaching is such an important and rewarding job.

Each resource in this project will make a huge difference in the classroom.

The math manipulative will provide hands-on tools that make abstract concepts concrete, helping visual and tactile learners better understand things like fractions, place value, and geometry. The dry-erase boards will allow for immediate feedback and active participation during lessons, making learning more interactive and engaging.

By giving my students the right tools, you're helping build their confidence and ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has a fair chance to thrive in math. Thank you for believing in them as much as I do!
