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

I am blessed to have such wonderful students. My students are amazing 3rd graders in a bilingual classroom. They have a lot of energy and love to play games with each other. During indoor recess students have limited options of what they can do. I usually provide paper for students to draw or often my students rely on technology to play games. My students are very excited to have board games such as Uno, Connect 4, and Tic Tac Toe during recess. These games will allow students to socialize, practice language skills, and teamwork. We hope that we can have these board games in our classroom.
