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

With all of these new and wonderful science, STEM and Math materials my students will be able to engage in many more hand on science and math investigations and lessons to allow them to deepen their love of being Scientists and Mathematicians. In math, they will be able to hands on learn how to use a number line and tell time being able to manipulate clocks and number lines. My students will also be able to learn to build and solve real world problems in a fun way with magnetic tiles and Legos. These materials will be the basis of all of our classroom investigations and lessons students will be able to use these tools each day to investigate the world around them as we navigate through our science curriculum. With these new materials we can fuel creativity and engineering to the next generation of scientists.
