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 great! They are innovative and curious, always asking questions and wanting to know how things work. However, I don't have many materials to help them follow their curiosity and be creative.

Having blocks and magnetic pieces, Legos and other manipulatives, will give my students more opportunities to build and imagine and learn through play.

The smaller objects will allow my students to go through the scientific process of designing a creation out of cards, experimenting, adjusting the model, and reflecting on the process.

We also need more headphones so that all of my students will have access to the online apps, including Math apps. I have one set, but this year I'll have a second group of students and need more.
