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

Legos are beneficial for kids because they promote development in various areas, including fine motor skills, cognitive abilities, and social skills. Building with legos fosters creativity, problem solving, and concentration.

" Building dreams, one brick at a time." Each brick holds a piece of your dreams.

Start small, build big, and let your imagination flourish as you watch your dreams come to life in colorful bricks.

The 4 colorful lego sets and canvas totes in this project will provide our class with the ability to transport our legos out to our playground. While out in the playground, students will be able to build what they observe in their community. Each child will have their own tote of colorful legos and be able to build and create their own unique designs.
