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

Our elementary school has created a new STEAM Science class for Grades K - 5 this year!

This hands-on class was not available or able to be implemented during COVID.

The children are learning so much and are improving their Science knowledge, while having fun. This is a result of the hands on learning they can only accomplish in a non-COVID environment.

The personal hands on Science kits are information-packed kits encourage kids to conduct investigations that support Next Generation Science Standards* for fifth grade!

In addition the KEVA blocks are outstanding STEM resources for all grades!
