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

Preschoolers are natural born explorers! They are very curious about the world around them. Having science related materials such as discovery tubes, science viewers, motion and magnet discovery kits, magnetic science tiles, and a really cool color changing touch board in our science center will help them further develop their scientific inquiry skills. These materials are not only fun enough to engage with but they will also allow my students to find answers to questions that interest them and to allow them to wonder how things work. I want to be able to further support their learning through exploration and discovery.
