Help me give my students hands-on building materials like magnetic blocks/ shapes, rods, and LEGO bricks. These tools will give my students opportunities to explore their creativity, develop fine motor skills, and engage in collaborative STEM-based play.

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 Project
I absolutely love how curious, imaginative, and eager to learn my students are. Every day, they come into the classroom full of energy and ideas, ready to explore and create. They ask big questions, solve problems in unexpected ways, and light up when they figure something out on their own. Their creativity is endless—and I want to give them the tools to keep growing that spark.
The magnetic blocks, rods, and Legos I’ve selected will help turn our classroom into a hands-on learning lab where kids can build, invent, and collaborate.
These materials are not just fun—they’re powerful tools for developing critical skills like spatial awareness, fine motor control, problem-solving, and teamwork.
Whether they’re building a bridge, designing a tower, or imagining a whole new world, my students will be learning through play—experimenting, making mistakes, and learning to persist. These resources will also allow me to weave in early math and science concepts in a way that feels natural and exciting for young learners.
Most importantly, these materials will help my students see themselves as creators, thinkers, and future engineers—even in kindergarten!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
