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

This year during summer learning, ESports was brought into the school. My students in the ESY program got to experience it and absolutely loved the program; however, they will be removing all the materials once it is over. I am asking for all the materials necessary so I can create my own ESports program in my own classroom.

To run the program effectively, I will need a Nintendo Switch, a variety of games, and controllers.

My classroom is called an Exceptional Child Services (ECS) comprised of students who all have a severe to profound learning disability. One thing they all have in common, however, is that they all love video games. When we were able to experience ESports, the students were completely overjoyed.

I work at a school in Providence, RI, and many of these students do not have the opportunity to play games like this at home. This is great for my students on so many levels, including positive motivation, hand-eye coordination, promoting team building, healthy competition, STEM learning, attendance improvement, etc. I really hope you will consider donating, thank you so much in advance!
