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

This year, I am hoping to provide my students with interactive games and activities that promote critical thinking, STEM learning, higher-order reasoning, and collaboration. These resources, Skillastics Be Fit 2 Learn Skillastics Math Games, building bricks and other math games, will give students opportunities to challenge themselves through problem-solving and teamwork while making learning both fun and engaging. My goal is to help them expand their thinking and develop a lasting enjoyment for learning.

Any support toward this project would be deeply appreciated and will directly help my students reach the goals and outcomes they are striving for.

Thank you for your support and donations.
