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

We are a small (only 8 teachers) Title I school, where 99% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. My students come from a low socioeconomic Latino neighborhood. Parents have to work long hours to provide for their families.

My students need hands-on activities that will engage them.

My Project

" I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand", Confucius. These hands-on manipulatives will help my students understand their learning by doing. They will be using tweezers to grab some pom poms as they count. They will be using the Alphabet Beads to spell their names and words that they are working on. They will use the dice to roll and count. They will be playing games that will help them learn. Each bin will have activities for them to do. These bins have math and language arts games that will change monthly. This will help them from getting bored.

Help my students discover the fun in learning.

Children love to explore and tinker with things. They will be engaged and focused.
