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

Thank you so much for considering my project!

I teach 9th grade remedial English and English Language Development.

I've noticed students need support with their social skills and ability to work with a team. This is also students' first year of high school, and they need time for mental breaks since they no longer have recess.

We will use these games to support students social skills during ice breakers, class rewards, and breaks. I am new to the school this year and don't have any games yet, so any donation is much appreciated. Thanks again!
