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 a hardworking, diverse, and enthusiastic group of 8th graders! Our school is a Title 1 school, with over 85% of students coming from low-income families. Something we strive for in our classroom is social-emotional support and cognitive development.

Board games and puzzles help students build problem-solving, logic, and reasoning skills in a fun and engaging manner!

Our mixed population of special needs, English language learners, and general education students love playing board games when they finish assignments early. This is a great way to help them relax and reset before their next class.
