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

Each school year is a brand new start for the students and teachers! Being a teacher I always look forward to the beginning of the school year to see the excitement of the incoming students. This year I decided I wanted to bring even more excitement to my classroom. Over the years I have noticed how much my students enjoy playing education games in the classroom.

Board games in the classroom will help bring learning to life!

I have found that my students are more engaged while playing games and I would love to bring more into the classroom. Having specific math games and social-emotional games will help balance my classroom.
