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

This project is for an upgrade to our first-grade science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) center. As students return to school, I wanted to upgrade our STEM area by replenishing our broken Magna Tiles and replacing our bean bag chairs that have ripped after years of wear and tear. I also wanted to add another block set for our STEM center.

These selected items will help to begin the upgrade of our STEM center area.

I am asking for a bean bag chair because it will give students a comfortable place to work on our floor tables as they design and create using our STEM bins. With your help, I hope to create an environment for my first graders to explore, create, and thrive. Thank you so much for supporting my students during these uncertain times.
