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

A kindergarten classroom needs a space to explore, build, and problem solve when attempting to build and create different structures. This is important because it provides young children with opportunities to explore and engage with the natural world, fostering curiosity and a love for learning. A space that stimulates children's curiosity about how to build something, what materials to use and how to use them, while also inspiring them to ask questions, make observations, and seek out answers to solve problems promote critical thinking and problem solving skills are essential skills for scientific inquiry and critical thinking.
