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 Students

The students at our school are so eager to learn and enthusiastic about taking on new challenges. They are awesome kids who come from various, diverse backgrounds. Our school is a Title 1 elementary school with close to 90% of the students qualifying for free or reduced lunch and nearly 50% of the kids are English Language Learners.

I work with the Gifted Learners.

These students don't always have access to resources, and I would like to help bridge that gap. I want to help encourage and motivate them while fostering a love for learning and growing.

My Project

Students will be delighted to engage in higher level thinking and problem solving with these quality, eye-catching, thought-provoking logic games. I was introduced to these games at a conference for Gifted Educators and was hooked. Students will love them!

Requested games include Ninety-Nine or Bust, Clack!

Categories, Pickles to Penguins!, and Otrio. Students will participate with peers and will collaboratively solve challenging logic puzzles and practice social emotional skills while being strategic and creative.

Students can't get enough of these games and LEARN so much while playing. Their brains will work overtime trying to outsmart their opponents. With these activities being incorporated into the classroom, students may not want to go home.

It's exciting to observe critical thinking, problem solving, creative thinking, metacognition, inquiry, and affective skills being developed in young minds as a result of having access to materials such as these games.
