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 creative and curious learners. Since COVID protocols have loosened up in the classroom, they are interested in getting back to hands-on experiences. I am eager to provide them with materials for building and creating this school year!

The STEM building tools will be used for morning bins and choice time.

The brain flakes and interlocking blocks will be used in our STEM bins which is part our morning work program. They will allow students to build and create with their peers during our morning routine for fun and enrichment. Students will also use these materials to participate in STEM challenges through our science curriculum. This also allows them to work on their teamwork skills and teaches them how to go through the engineering process. The Legos and Picasso tiles will also be incorporated into our STEM bins and be used for our next STEM project for students to build a playground. The bins will be used to store our STEM building materials in the classroom and keep us organized. My students have already tried some of these materials and have absolutely loved them. They allow them to be creative and inventive with their peers. They are still learning how to collaborate, and these tools will allow them to apply these skills. Our school district is currently starting a STEM initiative to get students thinking deeper into the science and engineering process, and we would love to start this in our classroom on a smaller scale.
