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

Help us create an engaging and interactive space in our library with jigsaw puzzles. These puzzles will give students the chance to practice critical thinking, spatial awareness, teamwork, and focus—all while having fun.

Puzzle tables bring kids together, allowing them the opportunity to learn how to engage with others, work on fine motor skills as well as problem solving skills.

Our elementary library is a place for reading and discovery, as well as a learning space for students to work on building life skills. Jigsaw puzzles help young learners build essential skills like problem-solving, spatial awareness, and attention to detail. They also foster patience and persistence, boosting confidence as students work toward completing each puzzle. Adding puzzles to the library will create a welcoming environment where students can collaborate, relax, and experience the joy of accomplishment.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
