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

Please help provide my spectacular second graders with compatible building blocks so they may use their engineering skills to build and create vehicles, homes, habitats, stores, and restaurants. The students love to build together and share their ideas of businesses they've created or vehicles they hope to one day own. They'll use the mini-figures to act out characters and create community activities.

I love engaging the students in engineering projects that require them to use their imaginations.

This also leads to role playing and great discussions about their creations.

Our class would also appreciate buttons as we use them for counting collections for Math and for Art projects. Thank you for supporting us!
