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

The materials in this project will support my students creativity as they build projects with STEM activities. In this project the students will be engineers using their skills to build projects by using problem solving skills.

This project not only supports critical thinking but strengthens reading comprehension as well as math skills.

In this adventure of STEM, students will explore the world through the lens of mathematicians and scientists. Students will build various objects by paying close attention to the careful details in order to build their projects. It is a great way to support children with early experiences involving: engineering, critical thinking, reasoning, mathematics, science and problem solving. These are all lifelong skills that students need to explore and build upon.

Ms. Peña PS/IS 268 Grades PreK-2
