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

We are a school right in the heartland of Nebraska and is made up of over 400 diverse learners from all over the world. We are a school high in poverty, but rich in culture. Being in Nebraska, in the wintertime, we have some days where it is too cold for students to go outside for recess. We would love to provide them with an alternative that exercises their brains, keeps them off the technology for a bit, and gives them some good old-fashioned fun.

Creating with manipulatives is a great way to learn and to have fun!

Many skills like cooperation, teamwork, problem-solving, making inferences, and more are learned by building and creating. Hands-on learning/building materials would give our students these continued learning opportunities while giving them time to interact with each other and just be kids.
