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

My students are learning about tools and the jobs they help do as well as the habits of character they will need to get the job done. Our Unit ends with the challenge of inventing or creating a magnificent thing.

Students will use their imaginations, the fort kits, magnet tile kits and building kits to engineer together.

Students will have to practice our habits of character in action while working to create their magnificent things. For example students will need to collaborate when building using the fort kit or persevere when using the building kit and things didn't work as they planned.
