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

Board games create the perfect setting for students to practice turn-taking, asking and answering questions, problem-solving, and expressing their thoughts respectfully. These activities support the development of pragmatic (social) language skills in a natural, engaging way. Your support will help my students grow socially and emotionally while enjoying meaningful peer interactions. With your support, my students will have the opportunity to strengthen their conversation skills, learn teamwork, and build friendships through play. These games will turn our speech sessions into interactive experiences where learning feels natural, fun, and full of connection.
