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

I am implementing STEAM bins this year in my classroom. They are bins full of wonderful supplies for my students to build and create using task cards and/or their imaginations. My collection of STEAM bins is pretty sparse right now because I've included only what I have around. With this project, I can really give them the amazing supplies they need to experience what STEAM bins are meant for. These bins are already such a hit for morning work, and I know that if I can add to my interesting collection of STEAM materials, they will be an even greater hit.
