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

In the library , I teach all grades and this project offers hands on learning as students are challenged and have the opportunities to be creative. My students will be able to be challenged through several STEM activities as they tap into their own creativity. They will be able to personalize their learning and create structures , buildings and be able to develop their own ideas . The construction set, LEGO, straw builders, and craft sticks will be used in the library for students to design, experiment, build and invent and engage in the STEM process. Thank you for your support.
