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 a school day, the lunch period is the toughest on a student. This is where students look forward to seeing their friends and socializing. Unfortunately, some students eat alone.

Research has shown that games are essential for healthy development and social skills in early childhood and beyond.

Most games, like the ones requested in this project, require two or more players, which invites students to come together to play a game. It allows them to experiment through trial and error, find solutions to problems, work out the best strategies, and build new confidence, skills, and friendships.
