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

Transitional Kindergarten at AES is a fun filled place where our classroom of 4yr olds play and learn simultaneously! The materials in my classroom support two classes of TK students. 37 students who come to us with various experiences and abilities. Help me enhance these students mathematical minds by giving our students manipulatives and floor puzzles.

By having more hands-on mathematics activities, students will play and practice skills that will develop and improve their number sense.

Floor puzzles will help to foster teamwork and communication, while also supporting number recognition and counting.

We can’t wait to learn and play together. We thank you for your support.
