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

Remember what it was to be in elementary? My students are active and enjoy exploring. Their young minds need creative and meaningful experiences. We are a Title 1 school with a very high percentage of low income families. While poverty and language can be barriers for my students, I like to create a learning environment that makes their learning fun. As their teacher, I must create an environment where my students can express themselves, but they need the tools to have a creative and meaningful experience in kindergarten.

My Project

The mathematics learning materials will make a difference in my students learning by using the materials in centers during math workshop. Students will be able to use the materials to understand numbers, equations, computations, and algorithms in a small group setting. These materials will improve my students lives with the step-by-step picture instructions and hands-on activities that are ready for my students to use daily. These materials are perfect for them because they reinforce the early math skills learned in kindergarten. My students will use these materials to match objects, make patterns, estimate and add objects to improve in their math skills.
