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

I am asking for STEM bin materials to encourage my students to work collaboratively. I am also hoping these materials give my students the opportunity to play creatively and use their imaginations.

It is crucial that we give our students the opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers.

I believe that the materials I am asking for will do just that. Legos, brain flakes, magna tiles, and playdoh are great tools for getting students to work together. They can solve problems, build things, and use their imaginations all at the same time.

I also included prizes for my prize wall in this project. I am hoping to rewards students who demonstrate great collaboration in order to encourage them. I am sure that all my students will rise to the challenge.
