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

The specific items I’m requesting—games like UNO and Guess Who?—will provide my students with engaging, screen-free opportunities to develop essential communication and social skills. These games encourage conversation, strategic thinking, and peer interaction, making them especially beneficial for English Learners (ELs) and students with disabilities who may struggle with verbal communication or socialization. By playing these games, students will practice speaking, listening, and critical thinking in a low-pressure, enjoyable environment.
