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

My students are curious! They accept a challenge and see it through. I am so lucky to be their teacher. These science and math materials will further their curiosity as they can be used for structured learning as well as free play.

Learning through play and collaboration is how I envision these materials making a difference in learning.

These games will provide hands-on practice and review of math and science skills. The magnetic tiles will provide an opportunity for students to create. What child wouldn't love to learn this way?

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
