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

The magnetic tiles and blocks, Brain Flakes and Mega blocks will make a difference in my students learning because they are a great way for children to use fine motors skills in the classroom. My goals for this project is to engage students in fun and creative play during centers, and enhance their imagination! These STEM activities will be used during STEM centers and students will be able to rotate to each station and create something unique. My 1st grade students are special because they are always finding new ways to be creative and enjoy learning in our classroom!
