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

As a Media Specialist, it's exciting to see students grow as readers and writers. We spend the entire school year reinforcing important classroom skills. Our newest curriculum allows us the opportunity to grow as engineers as well.

After reading about researchers, innovators, and engineers we want the chance to get our hands on materials and design our own creations.

These materials will help us practice our problem-solving skills, see how cause and effect go together, and help us test out our hypotheses.

Who knows what they will be inspired to create as they try their hands with these STEM materials and kits!
