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

Students keep coming back yearly to my after school program. They use the Legos to build and create new things using their imagination. In addition, they also love building sets. Students work in pairs and in groups.

Legos help students with problem solving and creativity.

Help me keep them coming. My goal is for them to build socialization, enjoyment, and be problem solvers. This project will help all the above and beyond.

My students are special in different ways. You have the quiet ones, the needy, the little Einsteins, etc. The bottom line is they are all special in their own unique way.
