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 come in at 7:10 and eat breakfast. When they are finished eating, or if they eat at home, I decided to make that time for STEM and team building. In order to do that, I need some fun hands on activities the kids can use!

Funding this project will excite the kids to get to school in the mornings and work on projects where they need to really think outside the box to make creations!

Examples would be: using magnetic cubes to create something unique that comes to their mind, explore the world with the globe, practice typing and using a mouse, building words, and so much more.

I am so excited to bring this project to life!
