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

Walking into our school, you will find a diverse group of kids. Many of my students are English language learners, which means they are learning how to read, write, and speak English.

Our classroom is in an urban environment, filled with kids from all walks of life.

We are a Title I school, and our whole school gets free breakfast and lunch. I have a few students with troubled homes, which makes me work harder to create an environment where every child feels safe and able to learn the skills necessary to be ready for middle school and beyond.

My Project

Third grade is a super fun year for math. Students get to experience multiplication and division for the first time. For this reason, I am seeking funding for jumbo magnetic multiplication arrays to aid me in my teaching and double-sided counters to help students experience making concrete models of equal groups and arrays as they work to solve problems.

Student are always so excited to learn how to multiply and divide especially when it involves manipulatives.

Third graders also dive deep into learning about fractions. It's the first time students experience fractions on a number line and fractions greater than 1. For this purpose, I am asking for whiteboards which have pre-written fractions on a number line that students can compare and see relationships.
