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

Our 4 year old students in Universal Transitional Kindergarten, are exciting about their environment and curious when it comes to toys and building. They use their imagination to play pretend with shapes or connecting cubes.

Our students will connect and build using the pipe builders both inside the classroom or outside using the water pipe builders.

They will problem solve seeing the water or marbles come out as they use their little hands to create and build.

The magna tiles will not only let them play pretend, but actually help them build moving vehicles, create structures, or almost anything else their mind desires.

Let's get our little minds and hands busy building, creating and designing with gears, connecting cubes and blocks!
