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

The students at our school are so AMAZING and special because the majority of them come from many different cultures where they are learning English as a second language! The socioeconomic status in our neighborhoods are low-income and our students are in desperate need of academic resources.

Our students love to explore and be creative in their learning.

They are filled with an excitement and joy to learn! Being a first grader is challenging because the students are making the most growth in first grade! I want to create an exciting and engaging learning environment to help combat these challenges!

My Project

It is a new school year at our school, and we are departmentalizing! This is so exciting for our school! I have gone from teaching all four subjects (ELA, math, social studies, and science) to just teaching two (math and science)! I did not realize how much I was lacking in math FUN. The money that you donate will be going towards geoboards, magnetic numbers, whiteboards, play-doh, counters, shapes, dominoes, dice, balance scales, plastic money, read-alouds that are math and science related, and many other math and science manipulatives!

I want to see students reach their full potential in learning new math skills!

We will be using these engaging resources daily as I am implementing Balanced Math, which is including center rotations into our math block! Woo! Help me make this new year of change awesome for these first graders by funding this project!
