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

Most student thrive when provided with hands-on problem-solving activities and this is especially true for students with special needs. I would intentionally use these materials every morning to get their minds and bodies stimulated first thing. Children enter a classroom with many different emotions and many times the teacher does not know why a child is upset or sad. At times, my students are unable to express themselves, so this year I would like to try something different and give my students STEM choice bins in the morning. The student would choose the activity of their choice and engage until the timer goes off.

STEM-based education is more than just science and math, it helps our students with their creativity and life skills.

We do not have any of these materials in our classroom and would greatly appreciate your kindness to kickstart our creativity and school year!
