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

These materials will help stock up our STEAM area.

STEAM exploration requires a lot of hands on materials and supplies.

Children would benefit from playing with sand and discovery tubes. My students have also shown a wonderful interest in insects, especially butterflies. I would like to be able to provide them with the experience of watching a butterfly go through its changes. This experiences would really inspire my young learners and would allow for so much learning and exploring. I am very excited to be able to supply our STEAM area with items that will further engage their senses and inquisitive minds.
