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 have been fortunate to get new chairs for our small group learning and we are stoked! We would like to try our luck again by asking for a work table that is just as rad as our new chairs. The kids love the new seating and I believe they would equally love a new table. This table provides comfortable space for working. The dry erase feature makes it even more dynamic for the students. Also, it cuts down on the space we would need for individual dry-erase boards.

Playing word games helps the students develop language skills and vocabulary.

It also makes learning fun and engaging. The games can be used for learning centers or as incentive time. I believe the games would add a unique experience to their learning.
