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 are very curious and playful first graders. They're always ready to explore something new and love to use hands-on materials. The magnetic building blocks and LEGO kits would provide opportunities for them to use their imagination. These kits would allow my student to use their curiosity to practice STEM skills through play.

My aspiring young engineers can use the marble race track to create various courses, all while working with their peers and having fun.

Your donations to this project will help my first graders realize that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
