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 Students

My elementary is home to over 600 diverse elementary students in Pre-Kindergarten through 5th-grades. It's a joyful place to be! We have Makerspace areas that need to be stocked and ready for our Bulldogs to create.

Making matters.

Help me provide a variety of resources that will ignite our student's creativity...and the maker in them!

"A makerspace is a place where students can gather to create, invent, tinker, explore, and discover using a variety of tools and materials."-Diana Redina

Makerspaces provide student-centered inquiry by allowing them to experiment, design, build, tinker, and explore their interests.

My Project

It is so important to give students an opportunity to have hands-on learning experiences, choices, and the freedom to express themselves. Makerspaces encourage creativity, build critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and are collaborative spaces where students work together, allowing learning to unfold naturally.

All of the items will be in our Makerspaces where students can choose what they want to create.

I have requested a variety of materials, such as pipe cleaners, wooden dowels, origami paper, cardboard cutters, and more!

These resources will allow our Bulldogs to utilize our Makerspaces to their fullest potential and get them made!
