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 third-grade students attend a Title One school in Orange, California. They are a part of a dual immersion, bilingual program and come from different backgrounds. They pride themselves in being bilingual because they know its empowering. Each day, they come to school with a positive attitude and energy, despite the financial hardships some of the low-income families are facing in the midst of the pandemic.

My students thrive in a classroom environment that allows them to move around freely and collaborate with one another.

They have taught me so much about patience, love, and compassion. I continuously learn from them as they strategically solve problems and explain their thinking. I am one fortunate teacher and am forever grateful for them!

My Project

My students love lessons that are hands-on because it helps them grasp difficult math concepts and vocabulary. The variety of math manipulatives I am requesting such as magnetic tiles, will enable them to explore and have a concrete idea of what they are learning in math. In addition, my students enjoy learning about math content in which they are able to make real-world connections.

The materials I am requesting will foster collaboration among my students, an important skill necessary for success in a learning environment.

Right now, I am only able to use math manipulatives with a small group. I am looking to expand my collection of math manipulatives to ensure each student is able to participate in group activities. Many of my students, who come from a low socio-economic status, deserve an opportunity to use resources such as math manipulatives to support their academic learning.
