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

These STEM resources will help strengthen my students' skills in science, technology, engineering, and math. The materials on my project allow for students to work with a partner and explore how our world works.

Children learn best through play, and even better when they have a peer to talk things through.

COVID put a stop to that kind of safe exploration with friends, so these materials can open the door not only to STEM, but also to language skills, listening skills, and friendship.

These materials can provide a fun structure to develop collaboration, communication, and relationships - all through the lens of STEM activities.
