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 Kindergarteners are enthusiastic learners who love hands-on learning and exploration! Unfortunately, most of my students would rather play video games than physical play when given the choice at home.

At school, I love to present opportunities for my students to engage in activities that both challenge them mentally and physically.

My students learn and grow best when they engage in hands-on learning and exploration!

My Project

My Kinders will ramp up block play with these durable wooden ramps and balls! With this set, students will be able to create tons of different paths…then send the balls rolling to test them out. As they build, test and experiment, they’ll develop critical thinking, early STEM skills and more! Students will see how simple machines make work easier—with real-working wooden replicas! This set of blocks is perfect addition to our existing simple block play area. The machines incorporate handy contraptions like pulleys, wedges and screws, which gives students hands-on experience with cause and effect as they raise and lower objects on an elevator, move blocks on a conveyor belt and more. Plus, they’ll gain insight into how full-sized machines make big jobs easier.
