Celebrating 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 students are some of the most deserving 1st graders around! They work hard each day to take advantage of every learning opportunity. They are motivated by a good challenge and love to make new discoveries about the world around them. They are creative, clever and take pride in their school and in their community. Though many of my students have experienced trauma and difficult family situations, they come to school every day with a bright outlook on their future.
My Project
My students love play time, but on days when weather limits outdoor play or when free choice time is earned, they often don't have access to the type of hands-on, creative play opportunities they need.
Having enough engaging, educational and, most of all, FUN play materials that support STEM skills would be a game changer for my classroom!
These materials include various types of building blocks, puzzles and games that would require my students to work as a team to create their own masterpieces while sharpening fine motor skills and fostering a love for engineering and problem-solving. These activities will help prepare my kiddos to contribute amazing ideas and skill sets to the 21st century world they live in.
