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

Building with blocks is a foundational play skill that encourages students to use their imaginations, develop their thought processes, and learn about shapes. It introduces them to a world of STEM and provides exposure and practice for future learning.

For my preschoolers it starts as stacking blocks to make a tower; however, with time, it eventually develops into planning and constructing a personal design.

My students will learn to map out their designs, share and talk about their ideas with peers, and discover how combining different shapes can create something new.
