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 getting ready for the fall and winter season and we don't want the rainy day blues! My students need board games, puzzles, Legos, and magnetic tiles to enjoy during rainy day schedules. These games will help them pass time during rainy days when they can't go outside and play on the yard. These games are fun, entertaining, and create good social skills like sharing, team work, and taking turns. My students need to play and be able to take a break from brain overload on rainy days.

No rainy day blues, lets play and learn.

Board games will help my students interact with each other. We thank you in advance for all your kindness and support. Your donation will make a difference in my students' lives. Thank you so much for your support, dedication, and donation to public education! You are truly appreciated!
