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 curious, energetic, and love learning through hands-on experiences. They are excited when they have opportunities to build, create, explore, and work together. I strive to create a classroom where learning feels fun and meaningful, and where every student feels successful.

These resources were chosen with my students in mind.

The magnetic blocks, engineering sets, and construction activities will allow them to explore STEM concepts while developing creativity, problem-solving, fine-motor, and teamwork skills. The letter game will give my students an engaging way to practice letter recognition, while the counting bears will help them develop counting, sorting, matching, and number skills.

With these new resources, my students will have more opportunities to learn through play, explore their own ideas, and build confidence. I know they will be excited to use these materials, and I believe they will help make our classroom an even more engaging place to learn and grow.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
