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 have had the privileged of being a Reading teacher for the past 8 years and now I will transition into being a self contained first grade teacher.

I have not taught Math in several years so I am in need of materials and centers to bring Math to life in my classroom.

These items will directly impact my students learning.

My first graders are eager to learn how to add and subtract and recognize numbers. These Math manipulatives and centers will make learning fun and more accessible. Having these materials will make our math class more engaging and interactive. It will help my students understand math better and improve their skills.

Research says that students learn better when they are able to use tangible items in their learning. Please help me bring these items into my classroom.
