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

My students are jewels to the world. They are future leaders, thinkers, designers and innovators. They are community members that support each other and are learning to collaborate in positive environments that stimulate the head and the heart. They are learners that require hands-on and cooperative manipulatives.

STEAM is about innovative thinking and design.

It provides our students with moments where they can work together to create codes, projects and games. It gives them the ability to support each and problem solve with each other. There are so many critical social-emotional development lessons that overlap with STEAM standards. It's truly a beautiful place to be.

My project is geared towards getting more board games for our children so that they can foster their communication skills, build teamwork and learn how to engage in meaningful social development.

My Project

Our students learn best through play. Play allows for interactive and multi-tiered learning to occur. It encourages students to think: strategically, logically, socially, emotionally and with team work. Play allows students to further develop their compassion and empathy for others. It allows students to become critical thinkers while also creating an environment that is safe, engaging and fun.

Game boards and chess will demand our students to learn together, engage with teamwork and become better STEAM thinkers.

Through games and chess, students are able to practice deep thinking which makes them better leaders and engineers for the future.
