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

Our last project materials were not available, so I have to repost for the same supplies to use our Donor's Choose gift card!Traditionally teaching mathematics is not very exciting, but once we get scissors, construction paper, and glue involved, we can transform mathematics into something fun for our students.

This kind of hands-on math learning means students need to also learn how to take responsibility for themselves and their classroom environment.

Our custodians work so hard to maintain our school, and as a class, we want students to take ownership and accountability of their space. Part of our school mission is to ensure students are good citizens of their community and environment and this is a great way to apply it to our classroom.
