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

Help me give my students STEM activities for opportunities to fall in love with science as they feed their curious minds. Our littlest of learners are faced with trying to retain big ideas that are often covered in science. This is especially challenging for our Pre-K to 1st grade multi-language learners. I would like to make this part of their learning process fun and engaging.

The materials requested are colorful, age appropriate, and engaging kits which will make this process easier as they learn about robotics, energy sources, and chemical reactions.

By making the process of learning more about science, I believe that this will help them become lifelong lovers of learning and science.
