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 very hands-on and creative. In my classroom, the most popular center is the Lego Duplo station. I would love to introduce my students to other hands-on activities. I believe that having different centers especially having to do with engineering will help my students use their imagination and see how using different tools can help them engage and be more aware in our science lessons.

My goal for this project is for the STEAM activity bins to help my students practice problem solving and creativity through a hands-on approach.

All the magnet bins will be created into smaller bins for students to either independently use or to work as a team.
