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

We are a full-day kindergarten program, and I am looking to add daily STEAM centers at the end of each day. Students will be able to choose from a variety of activities including science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

I am requesting a variety of Magnatiles building kits for students to use in our engineering center.

Magnatiles now come in a variety of themes including arctic, jungle, construction, castles, farm, and more. My students will be able to design and build a wide variety of structures with these Magnatiles.

STEAM centers are a critical part of learning, and I am excited to get these materials into my students' hands!
