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 workers who enjoy a challenge. They visit the library often for research and reading materials. Many times they are in here hanging out with friends. Often you can see them playing games on their phones.

Puzzles are a great way for them to socialize, work together, and relax.

They are an activity they can do in the library for an entire period or a few minutes as they are passing by. The puzzles are out for everyone They are an activity to keep the kids' minds busy instead of scrolling through their cell phones.
