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

Our students are hard working, eager to learn, enthusiastic learners We are a Title I school and most of our students do not have access to games and resources to help with learning at home. The materials requested will allow us to engage in productive play and to create resources the students can take for use during the summer.

Play is the work of a child and engaging students in productive play will help them to learn and grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally.

When students play together they build social skills that transfer to the world beyond the classroom walls. They learn how to engage in positive interactions with others.
