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

This project is solely created to cultivate social-emotional learning and strong decision-making skills. Through the pandemic, we saw many children adapt to a variety of changes. This project will be used to support the children’s development of social skills in a collaborative and fun way.

The board games provide my students with real-life situations that discuss financial responsibility and decision-making skills.

The games will be used both at home and in class. The parent engagement activities will be used for English language learners’ families who want to play and practice with their children. The Teacher's Pay Teacher's gift card will be utilized to purchase printable SEL games in multiple languages to give all scholars access. The gift card will used to buy and print games in; Arabic, Spanish, and Bengali to give all families an ability to play at home.
