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

The weather in Chicago can be very unpredictable. We often have to spend time in the classroom for recess due to cold temperatures, snow or thunderstorms. My students love to play together and often it is the only time of the day they have choice over how they spend their time. When we are cooped up inside we are in need of engaging games, puzzles and coloring books.

These activities will help my students to be creative, practice teamwork, wait their turn, and be good sports.

I am always looking for new ways to help my students to interact without technology. Please consider making a positive difference in the life of a child and enhancing their learning experience. Thank you so much.
