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 would love to utilize these new STEM materials to engage my 5th grade learners. It would provide hands-on learning opportunities for students. The gears and building tools would serve as a manipulative for learning as students gain engineering experience in planning, design, and building with peers.

These STEM resources and materials would engage all 5th grade learners and create exciting new opportunities in our classroom.

Students will be so grateful to explore with these materials at recess and during incentive block time. Thank you so much for looking at our project!
