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
I love how curious, creative, and eager my students are to explore the world around them! They are hands-on learners who thrive when given opportunities to build, create, and engage in meaningful play. My young learners are full of imagination and excitement, and I want to provide them with the right tools to discover how buildings are designed and constructed, especially within their own communities.
The toy garages, toy people, and other magnetic, building, and wheel toys I’m requesting will allow my students to **develop problem-solving skills, fine motor abilities, and early engineering concepts** through hands-on exploration.
These materials will help them understand the structures they see every day, from houses to skyscrapers, and how they are built. They will also encourage collaboration, creativity, and storytelling as they design their own buildings and cities.
My goal for this project is to create an engaging, interactive learning experience where students can connect their play to real-world structures and develop a deeper appreciation for the buildings around them. My students are special because they bring unique perspectives, ideas, and enthusiasm to every learning opportunity. With your support, I can provide them with the tools they need to think like architects, engineers, and builders shaping their understanding of the world, one block at a time.
