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

My students are of high needs, and struggling to learn English as well as common core curriculum. Our school is a Title I school where many services, meals, aftercare, medical exams, vaccines, etc. are provided to the kids and families. Resources are limited for summer practice and these students benefitted greatly from receiving additional math assistance with Math Intervention groups all year. Most grew to enjoy math through games with dice and cards and practicing with dry erase boards, making something difficult fun and more engaging.

These kids learned to love math through using resources such as these and grew in understanding of basic concepts they previously had difficulty with.

It would be so helpful if they could bring these tools home this summer to reinforce and continue practice of concepts and skills they strengthened this school year. Summer slide is real and these kids can't afford to lose anymore time, from things that have impacted their learning such as: Covid, and other obstacles, such as poverty and learning English, those issues the average student doesn't have to confront, just to be able to learn grade level standards.
