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 STEAM students need math stepping stones, number spots, kinetic sand, and large, safe building blocks. Our mini- mathematicians will love organizing and using the fantastic number steps.

It all starts here in TK- through play!

Purposeful play is the best learning especially if you have high-quality, engaging tools! Students can build tall towers, skyscrapers and cities outside with large, safe, cardboard bricks. These blocks are engaging, colorful and will help our students create and build. When they do, our scholars are making sense if their world, exploring cause and effect, forces, gravity and engineering! The flexible number spots will give students their own space and place to work either by themselves or in a small group.

Kinetic sand kits empower our super scientists to mold and design different environments. The reusable sand utilizes touch and sight to develop students’ abilities to sort and classify through hands-on play! I know these tools will just delight our kiddos! Thank you for giving to our super STEAM project and for being our superhero!
