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

Our fifth grade class is full of hard working students who love STEAM activities. We do a STEAM activity to start our day, almost everyday.

The Lake Shore STEAM kit, puzzle blocks, and magnetic STEM toys will help to spark curiosity and build teamwork within the students.

Also, Like any good scholar, students need basic school supplies such as pencils and notebooks to log their observations and findings. STEAM activities are such a big part of our classroom culture. These supplies will help to keep our students inspired and engaged as we explore STEAM together.
