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

What I love most about my second graders is their curiosity, creativity, and excitement for learning. They are eager to explore, ask questions, and work together. Each child brings unique strengths to our classroom, and I strive to give them opportunities to grow through hands-on, meaningful learning. LEGO bricks will support their development in so many ways, encouraging teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Through building challenges and STEM-based activities, students will strengthen their math, science, and engineering skills while also boosting confidence and communication. LEGO will turn our classroom into a space where learning feels like play and every child can shine.
