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

According to the "State of Classroom Engagement Report" from Lego Education about 30% of teachers and parents describe their students as engaged in the learning process.

The Power of Play With Lego Sets allow students to enjoy learning by constructing real-world places such as the White House and the Eiffle Towel.

As well engineer Star Wars models. The Power of Play With Lego sets provide students with an opportunity to collaborate and communicate as they work in teams to build each theme.

The Lego sets will also be used for students as an academic connection to discuss the impact of historical as well as historical fiction on students thought process and interests.
