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

My 2nd graders are curious, energetic, and always on the move! To help them reset and refocus during the day, I’m requesting board games for fun, engaging brain breaks.

Games like Tower Stack, Candy Land, and magnetic blocks will help students build social skills, practice teamwork, and develop problem-solving, all while having fun.

They also support my English Language Learners in using language in a natural, playful way. These games will help create a joyful classroom where learning and laughter go hand in hand. With your help, I can make brain breaks meaningful and give students a chance to recharge and connect.
