Celebrating 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 Texas is pretty unpredictable, and as a result, sometimes I am unable to take my students outside for recess. We are then stuck inside, and I am looking for fun things my kids can do to burn some energy.
This project will provide my classroom with lots of fun games such as Twister, Jenga, and Connect 4 to provide fun and stimulation on those days we are unable to go outside for recess.
I would love to start the new year off with a shelf full of fun games for my students to try, as well as a couple of cozy beanbags for our reading nook. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for donating to our classroom.
