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

Students learn best when they explore and play with their peers. I want a fun learning outdoor STEM water center for my classroom. It will allow the students not only to learn not only academic skills but social skills as well. Students will learn to work cooperatively with their peers by taking turns and sharing materials. They will also work on their oral language skills by discussing their work at the outdoor STEM water table center with their classmates.

With the new outdoor STEM water table center , my students can work independently with their classmates to explore math, science and engineering activities.
