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

I am very passionate about my 3rd graders! They are eager to learn and are curious about the world around them. They learn effectively when provided with hands-on experiences. This is why these materials will make a difference in their learning.

Envision the students working together and creating vehicles, buildings and bridges with building blocks and magnetic tiles.

The students will accomplish their math goals by playing multiplication dominos and using base ten blocks to visualize and understand numbers.

These manipulatives will provide a hands-on and visual approach to the students learning experiences. Help make an impact on society by supporting our future mathematicians and scientists!
