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

My students need STEM activities to help foster creativity in our classroom. I want my class to develop a sense of creativity and higher-order thinking for them not just to play but also to think of other ways to use our manipulatives in learning.

My students are very creative and motivated to learn new ideas in learning.

They love working with students on a daily basis, which will foster them to learn new ways of working.

All the items listed for my project will help them build and create from their minds. They will have personal autonomy to create and show their personal thoughts. My students need magnetic building blocks, STEM toys, and bright colors.
