Celebrating 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.
As a Kindergarten teacher it is my responsibility to make sure that my students learn various math concepts. I must teach shapes, colors, sizes, measuring, patterns, numbers, counting by ones, fives, and tens to 100, matching, directionality, etc. I also need to include literacy to our math curriculum.
This is where my problem comes in. I managed to get a series of books for counting the numbers, from one to 10. But, this is not enough. Many of the books I find are to difficult for the students to grasp the concept. I create my own poems, and short stories to assist the students in understanding various math concepts.
I know that if I have the literature to assist me in teaching math, both my students and I would not struggle through the connections of literacy in our math program. The "Math Start" collection is a series of readers that teach students with wonderful pictures and words. The colors are vibrant and the stories challenge the students. I feel that with one book for each math concept it will help our classroom increase our math potential.
Students at this age learn with visuals,through read aloud, and through practice. I would like to teach math one year without the worry of where I will find the appropriate book to relate to the topic I am teaching. Children at this age love to hear stories and learn best from a good story. Role playing parts of the story is also good for comprehension. Please assist me in developing a strong math foundation in my students NOW so that later it is not such a difficult subject. Thank You for your assistance and for joining our math program.
