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

Our students need to exercise their brains. A calendar of puzzles will be used for daily warm-ups as brain teasers. I would love to have students create their own break out games with some of the content we are learning. Cyphers and puzzles will greatly help with that. Electives should be fun, learning should be fun. Help me break out of the digital box and get students engaged in the learning process. Participate in an escape room for content reviews. Use their everyday assignments to make codes for future lessons. Let's break out!
