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 class is made up of second and third graders with specific learning needs. We learn better by doing and are motivated by hands on learning. My requested materials will give my students the ability to practice learning about. place value and money in meaningful ways. The goal is for my students to learn ad retain these skills and have fun in the process.

Materials like cardstock and colored ink will allow me to prepare motivating materials in all subject areas and maintain a fun filled learning classroom.

We use materials like laminating sheets to preserve teacher created materials so students will have the resources they need to thrive. My class is highly motivated and sensory items like fidgets help my students maintain focus during lessons.

Thank you in advance for all of the above mentioned items. They will surely make a difference in our learning.
