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

I'm looking to get some games and activities for my kids when it is too cold outside to go out so they can still have games to play. Sorry, Life, Chutes and Ladders, Trouble, Connect 4, Checkers, Tic Tac Toe and Chess. Also a few mini sports with mini hockey and mini basketball and rod hockey. The last thing is Bingo equipment including balls, cards and markers.

I teach at an Underfunded Alternative School that is in the oldest school building in the district, and we have plenty of kids with social and emotional behavior issues so to get these kids some games and activities would be a huge help.
