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

We will use the manipulatives to help reinforce students' creativity and discover ideas that can help them in science. Students will put into groups of 4 and each group with have a set of build materials (building sticks, pattern blocks, art set, cards and wooden puzzles) to start with their imaginations. Students in 5th grade start to understand and enjoy it. They discover there are millions of solutions and outcomes to building or experimenting on anything. 5th graders thrive to create and put their ideas to real life, and this will be the best way we can help them achieve this and experiment it in real life.
