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

One of our goals this year is to build our classroom community and friendships through shared activities with others and have friendly competitions using competitive games. We would love to continue to build on and maintain social skills within our classroom using board games and sensory materials such as kinetic sand and magnetic blocks.

Each child deserves an opportunity to learn, grow, and develop to their fullest potential.

Having more games and activities will be a great support for enhancing social skills and provide students with more sensory play when needed. The games chosen for this project will provide our students with more age and developmentally appropriate learning, and will more likely keep them engaged and motivated.
