Help me give my students receive Lego Education Brick Set, Minifigure Set, and the Wheel Set as a way to increase both creative and fine motor skills.

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
My students are amazing. As the year progressed I got to see by students develop into readers, writers, math mathematicians, and critical thinkers. Every day my students arrive eager to learn, so excited to learn new content in their native language.
"Education is the ticket to success." ~Jaime Escalante
The demographics of my school are as follows: 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch, 90% percent of my students were identified as Hispanic or Latino upon entry to school. For the majority of my students Spanish is their native tongue. For that reason our school is currently following an Early Exit Model to first teach students in their native language and then support English as their second language in a scaffolded method.
My Project
My students would highly benefit from having the LEGO Brick Set, LEGO Minifigure Set, and the LEGO Wheel Set as this would increase their fine motor skills but it would allow them to collaborate with their peers and use their imagination to build structures.
Although this might seem like play time it is actually very beneficial for the students to interact with one another (collaboration), the creation of structures will improve both their fine motor skills and math skills.
In the past I have purchased LEGO sets and have seen students engaged all while having great conversation with their peers all related to the task ahead of them. I am confident that LEGO education will give them that extra push in all domains.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
