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 are my world and I want them to have the best Preschool experience. I would like to add more STEM in to my class room. STEM is the way to go to have their minds moving with unlimited new materials that will help spark new ideas and new inventions. The learn magnetic gear, I can build a construction plank, architecture set and magnatile materials I am asking for have no end results. Each set comes with a build card but students get their own choices on how or where to put their pieces. No two students' build will have the same outcome. These games can be played over and over again with new results every time. Thank you so much for your help in making my students spark their minds with new adventures.
