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

My students are visual learners and learn best by doing. We need math manipulatives to assist with looking at the world through an abstract, concrete, and pictorial lens. I need to show my students many ways to understand numbers. They need to be able to identify numbers in many ways. My students are also learning how to social and engage in pretend play. They need to build on their imagination. In doing so, they will develop these skills by dressing up using the Costume Set, starting conversations with one another, and pretending to add different foods to their diet with the food baskets. My class will greatly benefit from your donations.
