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

Help my first graders design their very own airplanes! The craft kit will allow my students to create fast-flying gliders—for a fun-filled introduction to early STEAM concepts! Ideal for integrating STEM with arts and crafts.

My little learners will use the precut pieces to build and customize a plane with their craft materials!

Lastly, my students will test and fine-tune their creations—until they have a plane that soars! I've also included crayons and paint sticks to help with the decorations. I can't wait to be able to provide my students with these materials and put our learning into action! Thank you in advance for your support!
