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

One of my students' favorite parts of my class is weekly "Word Play Wednesday" where they have the opportunity to practice their written and oral language abilities through collaborative word games such as Scrabble and Bananagrams.

After one successfully funded DonorsChoose project, my students have become so obsessed that they've requested even more amazing games!

This round, I'm focusing on games that will promote conversation and collaboration. Post-pandemic, students are struggling with these fundamental skills more than ever. Games are a low-stakes way to connect with peers and practice the art of speaking and listening.

Your donation will support my students in their vocabulary, comprehension, and social skills as they build their English language abilities and experience the magic of word play!
