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

Please help me foster the creativity of my students. I have some of these materials, and the students love to play with them when we have to have recess indoors due to weather conditions. Students are asked to play inside when it rains. These materials allows for me to help keep them off of technology during this time. This also allows for me to help them think outside of the box and be able to visualize shapes for Math and other content areas. They have the tools to create and build what they are thinking in science.
