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 am requesting file folder games to enrich the hands-on learning experiences for my students, who possess a wide range of abilities. These engaging games will serve as valuable tools to boost their reading and math skills. Additionally, the social-emotional learning components will empower my students to better regulate their emotions and channel the positivity they bring to the classroom each day.

As a Special Education teacher, I know the importance of making learning relevant and engaging.

When students are actively engaged in their learning, they are more likely to understand and remember what they're being taught. Reading and math skills are fundamental for a successful, full life. Help me equip my students for life outside of the classroom.
