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

My Spanish Dual Language 2nd grade students are enthusiastic, inquisitive learners who with support, manage to expand their learning and develop their cultural awareness.

Despite their families' many hardships and lack of economic resources, my students are eager to learn regardless of their academic levels in math, literacy, and language.

Distant learning has now added another challenge to my students, by not having adequate manipulatives and supplies at home that would otherwise be accessible and shared in their classroom.

My Project

Math manipulatives and white boards are key tools that help my students explore math concepts and share their thinking. The use of manipulatives both bought and teacher made, are always incorporated in my classroom math instruction. My students use them to apply, practice, and model their problem solving strategies.

The Rekenrek counting racks will help students build their number sense, visualize regrouping within place values, and practice computation skills.

They will be incorporated with our new math curriculum, Eureka Math. The whiteboards will allow me to see exactly what my students are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work in math and other content areas. The card stock paper and laminating pouches will allow me make additional manipulatives and math aides to help my students as we work and learn from home.
