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 walk into class in the morning, often still tired and groggy. They eat breakfast and then sit, not communicating with their table mates in the way I would like. Whether it be that they don't have anything to talk about, or they don't know how to get it started, we all know how important conversations, of any kind, are in the classroom. They need something to spark conversations!

Magnetic tiles will be the way to get these morning conversations started!

They can simply talk to each other about the pieces they need, or they can ask each other what the best piece for their build is. They can even chat about the type of structure they want to build or what pieces they need to use to improve their build. The possibilities are endless with these magnetic tiles!

These magnetic tiles will be used for years to come. Conversations will be flowing this year, next year, and many years down the road. Your donation will make this possible!
