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 our school’s library media specialist and I will be using various materials, games and technology in our Maker-Space Zone to give students the time and space to learn STEAM by doing. Our students learn best by engaging in fun, hands-on lessons. Using GIFTEXPRESS Assorted Colored Duct Tapes and Ziploc Gallon Food Storage Bags will provide the opportunity for our kids to design and create their own pencil case using common household items. This helps them with their intellectual and cognitive development, self-esteem and emotional health. They will then be able to do team and independent work to design and build a creation of their own using the same materials. They will be able to use the skills they learn, such as problem-solving and critical thinking in their classes and throughout life. This will allow our students to build knowledge and develop skills using creative techniques. The cornerstone of learning is the ability to apply what you have learned to create something unique. I would love the opportunity to allow my students to be creative and develop a new skill set while having fun at the same time.
