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

I would love magnetic tiles and comfortable seating for students in my preschool classroom. Preschool aged children deserve multiple options for seating in any classroom to figure out what is most comfortable for them.

Magnetic Tiles are a great way for teachers to visually assess students' abilities based on observation.

The options are endless when it comes to building with magnetic tiles. Castles, rocket ships, farms, dinosaur houses, motor vehicles, and hotels are just some of the structures my students would love to build with a new medium. I am a supporter of flexible seating as well and would love to try out a new type of seat in my classroom.
