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

As we approach the new school year, I'm excited to begin the year with fun new activities and lessons. To make this happen, my students and I would highly appreciate fresh new materials to kick off the new year. Throughout the year, I hope to incorporate lots of group work activities to orient students to learn from each other. Even though I teach mathematics, I like to incorporate visuals, charts, and hands-on activities. With these supplies, I will be able to stock the student resource center with materials and educational tools. The clipboard stand will help organize our clipboards that we heavily use for out-of-seat learning activities. The glue sticks are a necessity to keep all of our math notes in order on our interactive math notebooks. Markers and erasers we use very often for white board review games before learning target exams. We will also be using the colorful card stock to create beautiful math flip book notes. With your donations, I will be able to use group games and activities to review math in a fun way! Thank you in advance!
