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

For the second year in a row, I will be having the privilege of re-teaching students. Many of my former third graders will be joining my class as fifth graders in the fall. Given the dramatic world events, they had a unique end to their fourth grade year.

As a result, we are spending the first half of our school year apart and need to get creative with our resources.

I am requesting hands-on materials for when we return to the classroom. After months apart, my students will definitely need centers and small groups to not only practice skills, but reconnect with their peers.

My Project

For this project, I am requesting several hands-on math activities to use in small groups. The matching task cards cover almost all of our fifth grade standards and can be utilized in partners, small groups, or with the whole class. Since these are leveled, students are able to self-monitor as they move towards mastery within different math domains. Having options allows for student choice in review time, which can look like remediation or acceleration depending on a student's needs.

Once we are able to safely return to school, students will need small groups to practice math skills as well as collaborate with peers.

I am requesting materials that can be used individually, with partners, in small groups, or class wide depending on the future health recommendations. I am requesting math task cards and manipulatives to aid in their learning.
