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

I am working on bringing in more STEM items that are developmentally appropriate for my TK classroom of 20, 4-5 year old students.

LEGOs and other STEM materials will increase students' curiosity, creativity, and communication as they learn to build, share ideas, and promote friendships while boosting happiness!

This is the first year my school has a full TK classroom and my first year at this school. I am working on building a safe environment where students can explore, build, create, and collaborate.

Play is an important part of a TK classroom and these materials will be used to fill their play spaces for them to use and explore during centers and free play.
