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

During lunch, I often have students who prefer to hang out in the classroom rather than the cafeteria because they prefer quieter places to enjoy their lunches, study with friends, or simply to rest and recharge. For this project, I am requesting puzzles, board games, and LEGO sets for my students to play with during their lunch breaks.

Board games, puzzles, and LEGO sets provide a great opportunity for students to take an off-screen brain break while still getting to exercise their critical and creative thinking skills at the same time.

These activities will also provide opportunities for students to develop fine motor skills and boost their confidence as they successfully complete tasks. With your support, I can provide my students with the tools they need to thrive mentally, socially, and emotionally, setting them up for success both academically and in their everyday lives.
