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

Each day in our classroom we have Discovery Time. This time is used to work with students in small groups to help reinforce the English language arts skills that we are learning about in class. Working through skills in the form of board games and literacy games provides my students with time to collaborate with their peers, work closely with a teacher, and learn in a fun, engaging way. Having an organized cart would allow us to access these materials easily and save on transition time.

We love to display our work in our classroom and hallway and using a hot glue gun ensures that our work will be displayed for all to enjoy.
