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 have a phenomenal and motivated group of fourth grade scholars. Many have IEPs (Individualized Education Plans), students new to our country who are learning English for the first time, scholars with various learning styles, and readers and mathematicians at various grade levels. Regardless, they all work extremely hard every day and love our paper circuit engineering and cardboard construction projects. They love making geometrical models, Makey Makey STEM kit coding integrated with art, just to name a few of the maker ed and computer science projects we'll be working on this year. The resources requested here will help them continue making/constructing, as well as learn about Chinese culture.
My student teams will construct the LEGO sets as part of their STEM/STEAM challenges, and they will also use the ink and calligraphy paper to practice writing with Chinese characters.
Last year, my students loved this type of activity, and I want to provide the same opportunity to my current learners.
This coming Lunar New Year will be a terrific one in our classrooms, thanks to all your contributions. ¡Muchas gracias!
