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

There is no better way for kids to learn Math and Science than by making it fun and engaging through different games and activities. Kids are curious and inquisitive. I can already imagine my TK/K students asking questions and trying to figure out the HOWs and WHYs.

My students' curiosity and learning will be fostered through these materials that are tactile, sensory, and STEAM related.

Five years olds need lots of experiences where they can touch and manipulate items. I asked for Foam Sensory Paint, Play Doh, and Kinetic Sand. They will use the Easy Clean Trays to lay the kinetic sand, foam sensory paint, or Play Doh and "write" numbers, letters, draw animals or anything they like.

To get away from paper-pencil activities I picked different Math items. I asked for Play-Doh and Counting Dough Mats to reinforce counting from 1-20. Kids create the dough shape that corresponds to the mat they are using. I also asked for a Magnetic Counting Maze, Tactile Numbers 1-30, and a Geoboard Design Center.

To spark my kids creativity, imagination, and inquiry I asked for a 36 Pack Case of Play-Doh and a Dough Tool kit. To foster their Science curiosity, I asked for a Beginners Science Lab that has 12 simple experiments that we can do together in class. The Bingo Games Learning Library will provide us with opportunities to come together as a whole group to reinforce concepts taught, listening, and social skills.

Family engagement is critical in a child's education. I asked for a 48-Pack Economical Cotton Tote Bag to make different "take home bags" for my kids. I'll include materials/games so my kids can engage with their family as they show what they learned in class.

Help my kids go FULL STEAM AHEAD in their learning!
