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

A lot of my kindergarteners came to school this year with very low fine motor skills and not a lot of experience in social settings. Working together with STEM building activities is so beneficial in both of these areas. It will strengthen their fine motor skills, help them work collaboratively, and show their creativity.

STEM tools help the kids to learn about building, using our fine motor skills, and help us to explore science in the classroom.

We need tools to help us learn about the world around us and help us work together!
