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

Since returning from COVID, students, now more than ever, need more time to interact with their classmates and learn in the process. Please help me provide team building games and activities to help foster their social emotional growth through community. The activities and games requested will allow students to work together developing various skills including listening and speaking skills, team work, critical thinking, analysis, and inquiry.

Students will develop interpersonal skills while growing our classroom culture.

These activities will provide a non-threatening, educational way to interact with their peers.

Thank you for your support!

Ms. Padula Ralph McKee Career & Technical High School Grades 9-12
