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

I love how imaginative, curious, and collaborative my students are. They are always excited to build, explore, and create while learning through hands-on experiences.

Magnetic Tiles Building Blocks and the Magnetic Blocks -Build Mine Magnet World Pumpkin Edition will help students strengthen creativity, engineering, and spatial thinking skills as they design structures, build worlds, and bring their ideas to life.

ThinkFun Gravity Maze-Falling Marble Logic Game will encourage perseverance, teamwork, and innovation as students experiment with motion, pathways, and design challenges. Students will learn to test ideas, make improvements, and celebrate success together in a fun and engaging way.These resources encourage open-ended exploration while helping students develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills.Students will learn to test ideas, make improvements, and celebrate success together in a fun and engaging way while the storage containers will help keep all materials organized, accessible, and easy for students to manage independently. Having organized supplies will maximize learning time and create a classroom environment where students can safely collaborate and create.

Together, these resources will provide meaningful STEM-based learning experiences that build confidence, communication skills, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
