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

Being creative, while building, is a huge part of PreK play! Whether they're in the block area or using smaller blocks at a table, it's amazing to see the passion they have in their projects.

As the PreK kiddos grow, their creations become more intricate, their conversations about what they have built become more detailed, and their eagerness to share with their friends and teachers become more evident.

Building blocks, in all shapes and sizes, allow the students to problem solve while they figure out how to place the blocks so their project won't tumble down. These new materials will provide a variety of ways to build, learn, create, and maybe even become the next Frank Lloyd Wright!
