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

I have a wonderful group of Pre-k students who love to challenge themselves in their critical thinking center time. These materials will help them grow their problem solving skills, critical thinking skills, working things out on their own, and learn to properly play, and interact with peers.

My students will be able to create and solve problems through critical thinking games in their center time with these materials.

I have seen the positive impact brain games have has on some of my kiddos who like to challenge themselves. As well as the students who sometimes struggle with the academics. They are able to think differently and use different skills to solve and play these games. They are able to communicate through play and learn ways to interact with each other in different life situations.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
