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

It's never to early to learn how to code! Please help me provide my Pre-K students with technology tools, like Bee Bot, Beehive, Coding Critters and Code and Go Mouse Activity, to teach them beginning coding--a skill that is used in elementary school and can lead to potential jobs in IT!

Coding teaches young children how to think differently, logically, and promotes problem-solving in a fun way!

The coding tools I'm asking for do not require a computer or tablet and are perfect for my non-readers!

My goal is to create a technology station small groups of students can access twice a week with adult facilitation.
