Community Building in the Resource Room

Help me give my students snacks and board games for the days they complete their school work early and have free time to spare. The manipulatives are to help them build upon their math skills.

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

Hello! My name is Ms. Casanova, and I'm an RSP teacher. The snacks and games will help me foster a learning environment that is enjoyable for my students. There are days when they complete their work early and have time to spare. The games and snacks will help foster a sense of community in the Resource Room. The manipulatives are to help strengthen my students' math skills. We are in school after all! I hope to create a classroom environment that is both conducive to learning and community building.
