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

STEM is very important in early childhood education because it encourages a love of learning and promotes analytical skills. It also sets a strong foundation for future success in and out of the classroom.

Since Kindergarteners have an innate curiosity, I like to foster that curiosity and tap into early problem-solving skills with hands-on, exploratory activities throughout the year because students gain exposure to science, technology, engineering, and math early and their learning is vibrant and engaging in special ways.

The excitement that comes from project-based STEM education motivates students to continue studying any of these subjects beyond their primary education. It also teaches them that learning is fun. These STEM games and building toys will help my kindergarteners work on project-based learning, build something out of a set of materials, play a game and solve problems in teams.

This not only makes learning fun, it becomes more memorable too.
