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

My students are so creative with their minds and also their hands. The Giant Pipe Builders, Peg Number Boards and Stack Build Soft Blocks will allow my students to have several open center locations to choose from. They will build, create and play using their bright minds. The amount of imagination that these students use is so impressive at such a young age. Please help me receive new and more materials for these students to play amongst each other in ways that nobody could imagine. To listen to them create real situations in their minds is so amazing to watch!
