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 Students

My classroom is made up of a diverse group of 21 kindergarteners who are enthusiastic about learning. I am blessed to teach in a supportive district. I have the pleasure of working with a vibrant group of children. I have always had a passion to be a teacher and strive to embed the importance of being a life long learner to my students. I love to spark their curiosity with fun and engaging lessons that will help them be the leaders of tomorrow. My kindergarteners are always encouraging and motivating each other to always try their best and persevere.

My students are young scientists, inventors, artists, and engineers that love hands-on projects, they have so much energy!

My Project

Imagine 24 pairs of busy five and six year old hands, discovering, building and engaging in bin of STEM items designed just for them. These are future engineers, scientists and inventors in the making. I am requesting for each of my students their own hand2mind STEM kit. These kits are an excellent resource that will provide hands on experiences to stimulate the minds of young learners.

Students will demonstrate what they have learned by creating models, charts, and entries in their science journals.

Donations to this project will help bring science to life for my students. This project will encourage open-ended exploration of engineering concepts and challenge students to think creatively and inventively.

STEM activities will help engage my students in topics that they are interested in, thus making them more successful in school. These kits will encourages students to create, invent, and solve problems using their own set of developmentally appropriate materials.

Each bin includes six double-sided Task Cards that use thoughtfully designed using real-world challenges to encourage exploration of open-ended engineering concepts, a write-on/wipe-off Blueprint Card for planning, and 6 different building materials in a compartmented plastic storage container.

These bins are thoughtfully designed to encourage open-ended exploration of engineering concepts, challenge students to think creatively, inventively, and discover a fun way of learning.
