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 love how eager, creative, and kind my 3rd graders are. They come to school each day ready to learn and connect. Board games are the perfect way to build on that excitement while teaching important life skills like teamwork, critical thinking, and patience. These games will support social-emotional growth, encourage collaboration, and strengthen academic skills- all though play! Adding a variety of board games to our classroom will give my students fun, screen-free opportunities to learn and bond with one another. Your support will help create a joyful, engaging environment where learning feels like play every single day.
