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

Kids are fascinated by nature! I am so excited for them to see what ants are busy doing underground and to see butterflies emerging from their cocoons.

The favorite part of all 900 of my students' day is building, creating, and designing in my class.

With the help of the construction set, the magnetic tiles and the dominoes I will be able to introduce them to various materials giving them diverse options to spark their creativity. I will encourage them to create a marble run for the marbles! I look forward to them exploring the interesting and fun STEM magnet activities as well.

Most of my students come from low-income families and often are not exposed to such things at home.
