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

Please help provide my students with magnetic blocks to use during free choice time.

Fostering a child's imagination is indeed a gift that continues to give.

My kindergarten students love to build with LEGO and blocks. I would love to encourage their creative imagination by providing them with magnetic cubes. These magnetic cubes will encourage my students to take what we are learning and engage in creative play to enhance topics we are studying. For example, while we are learning about kings and queens they can act out through play what they are learning.
