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 would like to provide my students with as many stem opportunities in the classroom as possible. I try and give my student as many hands-on learning opportunities as I can. My goal is to provide calming and open-ended thinking to early finishers, and indoor recess. The materials and supplies I have chosen will help students with their creative side as well as helping them think deeper. My students are specials to me because I had the chance to roll up with them to the next grade. Most of them know our classroom procedures and have played with all the things I have. I would like to create new memories with new STEM toys and help build our classroom community even stronger.
