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 love that we now have many students who have chosen to start their day before school in the library. We also have a sizeable crowd that comes to the library during lunches to get out of the fray of the crowded and noisy cafeteria. For many of our students the library is their safe place. I would love to have some games and activities that students can do in the space of 30 minutes.

These games and activities will help make the library a fun and engaging place to be before school and during lunch time for these students.
