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 lucky to work with a wonderful group of curious and eager learners who love exploring the world around them through hands-on activities. My students are unique in their creativity, excitement for new challenges, and growing need for tools that support both cognitive and emotional development. They thrive when given the chance to build, create, and express themselves.

This project will provide my students with resources to engage in STEM learning, practice social-emotional skills, and develop their creativity.

The RAINBOW TOYFROG Star Flex STEM Building Toys and LEGO Classic Building Toy Set will encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and creative thinking as they explore structures and ideas. The Playstix set will offer them the flexibility to design freely, fostering critical thinking and spatial awareness.
