Building Blocks Needed!

Help me give my students tools to stimulate learning in all domains of development, intellectual, physical, and social-emotional and language. These building blocks will allow students to develop early math and engineering skills through hands-on learning.

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

We are a Title I school where 100% of our students receive free and reduced lunch. My students are part of the Hmong Dual Immersion program. The program aims to give students more confidence, cultural understanding, and strong language foundations in support of producing bilingual. bicultural, and obliterate students.

Our dual immersion program gives students the advantage of learning through two languages, English and Hmong.

The goal for every student in our district is that "every student can and must learn at grade level and beyond." With that we are committed to providing students with a high quality curriculum.

My Project

My students need building blocks to gain skills in engineering and mathematics. These tools will enable my students to be efficient as independent learners, thinkers, and problem solvers.

With these new building blocks, my students will be able to apply and reinforce concepts that they are learning in math.

Our class lacks hands-on STEM manipulative and materials. By having these materials such as the See-Inside Magnetic Blocks, Magna-Tiles- Master Set, Science Discover Chest, 3-D Magnetic Builders- Master Set, Stack & Build Soft Blocks, and Soft & Quiet Building Blocks, students will be able to improve fine motor skills and spatial awareness. I hope to engage students in learning through play to develop early math skills and practice using the Hmong language in our Dual Immersion Program. Additionally, students will be able to develop hand-eye coordination. I hope to inspire my students to be independent, creative, and engaged learners. These materials will help us make the most out of our time and space together! They will be used for a math unit where students will use a block center to practice academic vocabulary in both English and Hmong.
