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 Students

“Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn.” – O. Fred Donaldson As excited and eager-to-learn 5-year-olds, my students are always happy to play, but my students need some classic board games and toys to improve their social and cooperative play skills.

Our school is located in the Upper West Side in New York City and specializes in serving students with special needs.

My class is a group of excited and energetic kindergarteners who loves to learn and play! The students enjoy interacting with each other and playing with Legos, blocks, and engaging in pretend play. However, the kindergarteners have not yet mastered the skill of playing a structured game with their peers. Often we overlook play as a teaching tool, but games can often serve as a valuable resource to teach students skills such as, cooperation, rule following, teamwork, turn-taking, and being a "good sport."

My Project

Play skills are critical to child development. Playing games leads to students working together, taking turns, and abiding by rules. These great classic games will be motivators to my students as they learn new skills and learn to play together. These games (Connect Four, Operation, Bean Bag Toss, and Hungry Hungry Hippos) will also be used as rewards for students who follow directions and complete their work. Additionally, once the students have learned to play a game, the game will be available to be used during their recess and academic choice time!

By donating to my project, you are empowering my students love of learning through play!

You will be donating to a project that will improve young learners' cooperative skills, enhance their academic skills, and increase their motivation to work together!
