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.
Our school has students from a wide array of diverse backgrounds. Over 99% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch as well as bags of food sent home on weekends. We provide a food pantry and a free clothing closet as many of our families struggle to provide these necessities.
I am lucky to have a large group of eager to learn, first grade students, most of whom are learning English.
I work in a school that teaches in a bilingual format. In my case, I teach the English half of two classes that swap every two weeks between my classroom and one that teaches entirely in Spanish. Because of this format, your donations will touch two full classes of students.
My Project
As a new teacher, I struggle to supply the myriad of quality materials my students need to grow and learn effectively. I had the joy of working with many of my incoming students this summer and found that they are lacking foundational skills that are essential to first grade such as number sense and basic problem solving.
The tens frames, puzzles, and math games will allow my students to build basic math skills that are essential for first grade and beyond.
The tens frames will be used for building number sense and basic addition practice. The puzzles will help my young students build problem solving skills and stamina when working on difficult tasks. The math games and puzzles will allow my students to practice these new and essential skills in a way that is fun and engaging so that they can learn to love math.
