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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My young scholars deserve the best education possible! Having learning materials that are portable and colorful has been shown to contribute to them having a longer attention span, concentration, and overall productivity. The materials I have chosen for this project will be the perfect addition to our learning environment.

Manipulatives are tools that students use to help visualize their ideas.

When students use manipulatives, they develop problem-solving skills and relate things they've learned to new concepts; keeping them more engaged in the learning process.

This project will provide my students with a hands-on, interactive way to learn, which can improve their comprehension and retention of information. This project will also address individual learning needs and cater to diverse learning styles.
