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 Students

If you can't be them, join them. Today's' children love the challenge games give them. Why not use that to help them learn in the classroom?

My students are from a low income community and attend a small elementary school in New York City.

They are very active individuals with diverse learning styles that need to be engaged as much as as possible. These educational games provide an opportunity for them to reinforce skills and strategies taught in our daily lessons.

My Project

Activities such as these educational games can show my students that learning can be fun. It also provides them an opportunity to work on their social skills as well as working in groups. These activities also provide discussions that can help them better understand information.

I would love to show my students that there is more than one way to learn.

I also want them to learn how to grow together as a community. And as a community we should help each other become better individuals academically and socially.
