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 Students

My students are wonderful. They always come in through the classroom door with a big smile and a “good morning” ready to learn. My students really enjoy hands-on activities and using tiles, LEGO’s, unifix cubes to learn and create. They are a special group of children, very dedicated to learning and always trying their best. For sure one of the many things they enjoy at school is those moments they have to be creative using manipulatives and putting their thinking to work

My Project

Magnetic pattern blocks will help my students continue being creative. During these harsh times of being “sheltered in place” and not being able to return to school, students are loosing from using classroom manipulatives. By each student having their own set of blocks, they can learn their shapes and properties, as well as create other shapes, which is a kindergarten common core standard. Parents can participate in their child’s learning process at home. Once we return to school students can bring to class their blocks to model what they created at home with the help of their family members and to teach their classmates.
