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

As part of a STEAM MAGNET School, my students will also the opportunity to show STEAM skills. They will pick from these variety of building blocks/toys to choose from during their brain breaks. They will work in pairs or in little groups to come up with ideas and create a model little by little.

To build on their critical thinking skills, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and to give them opportunity to socialize and learn skills to work with others, students will work with basic learning toys to build on their STEAM skills.

To give them the same opportunity as their typical peers, I would challenge my students to build and create models to show skills.
