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

Middle School is one of the most unique times in a students' life. If you're reading this and considering donating, you've been through Middle school and you know how it is. The world is changing rapidly and keeping Middle school kids engaged is an ever changing challenge for teachers.

I teach Portuguese to Middle school students and they NEED excitement to stay engaged in learning the language, Escape Games are it right now!

In my almost 10 years of teacher experience I've learned that in order to keep students engaged and involved in their learning games are hard to beat.
