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

Every day smiling faces from grades K - 5 enter my learning space for their WIN (What I Need) Block. These students come from diverse backgrounds, most of which English is not their first language. Many of my students are being exposed to English for the first time! For many, school is a stable place, where they know they will be fed two meals (breakfast and lunch), have a warm (or cool during the spring/summer months) place to stay, and be loved unconditionally.

Despite the everyday challenges that these students face, my students come to school excited and ready to learn.

It is my heartfelt desire to provide the very best for them!

My Project

In my WIN classes, students need more interactive ways to learn. Materials I am requesting like 10 frames, counters, place value charts, dominos, and dot cards can help them visually see the abstract concept of math and understand it at their level.

After close to one year of learning online, my students have missed being able to learn with hands on materials, and were not able to build, or lost, fundamental math skills.

Manipulatives can provide a bridge between the concrete and abstract levels of many mathematical topics, serve as models that support students as they think, remember, and communicate about the mathematics being learned, as well as support student engagement and differentiation.
