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

Introducing STEM principles during kindergarten can provide an enjoyable and interactive approach to nurturing curiosity, critical reasoning, problem-solving abilities, and imaginative thinking in young learners. During this stage, the focus should rest on hands-on discovery, a sense of play, and cultivating a passion for knowledge.

Incorporating STEM-oriented toys can serve as a beneficial tool in aiding the development of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills and interests among my kindergarten pupils.

By offering a range of educational encounters that accommodate diverse learning preferences and passions, and by skillfully integrating STEM toys, the process of learning can be transformed into an engrossing, hands-on, and enjoyable journey for my kindergarten class.
