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

Magnetic tiles will enhance my preschoolers' learning by promoting hands-on exploration of STEM concepts. They encourage problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and creativity while strengthening fine motor skills and fostering teamwork.

My goal is to provide engaging, open-ended materials that inspire curiosity and critical thinking.

By introducing magnetic tiles I aim to create opportunities for collaborative play while building early STEM skills.

My students are imaginative, eager learners who thrive when given opportunities to explore and create. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives, making every learning experience richer and more meaningful.
