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 me get my students Legos so that we are able to do some hands on learning! I will be using these Legos as a way to teach area, perimeter as well as fractions.

So many of us learn in different ways and it is my hope that through this project students will grasp and understand how to determine area, perimeter and fractions!

Legos are also so versatile that I am sure I will also be able to incorporate them into other areas of learning too! If you are able to I would love your help bringing this project to life!
