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

Our Wallace Lions love to build in our Career and Technical Education Classrooms, and we love to see their creativity! Students will work collaboratively in groups to research and build these world famous Lego Architecture Landmarks, such as the London and New York City Skylines.

Our hands-on building days allows our students to explore careers in the Architecture and Construction CTE clusters, and encourages teamwork and communication in the classroom.

This project benefits 5 classrooms, and over 600 students per year for students in grades 6-8 at Wallace Middle School.
